The Forest From The Tree

I'm digging in my roots, like fingers in the soil

Unshouldering this burden from all my years of toil

I'm learning to reach open, to meet my disrobed fears

I'm listening for the sound, of when you're drawing near

And in the dim of darkness I think I finally see

The blessed ties that bind us like the forest from the tree

I want to feel the warmth of sunlight on my skin

And all those whom I love, all gathered here within

Don't want to be alone. Don't want to be enmeshed

I'm tired of these vines, encircling 'round my neck

And in the dim of darkness I think I finally see

The blessed ties that bind us like the forest from the tree

I want to be deep rooted, in graceful coterie

As towering conifers extend their canopy

And in the dim of darkness I think I finally see

The blessed ties that bind us like the forest from the tree
