Walkin in the Woods

Light

I wrote this song today,
The recording is horrible, my guitar skills are less than extraordinary, and my voice does funny things, but that's besides the point.

This is my heart.



In the beginning, You spoke
You called into being, the World.
And You whispered, Life to me
You said, Darling, my darling, you're free.
Darling, my darling, come to Me.

And the stars up above
Are boasting with their light
They sing of Your love
In the night

In the morning,
Darkness flees
Once again Your Light,
It washes over me.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, My soul sings.
Hallelujah,
My soul sings

As a tree

I felt the roots of me burrowing their way into the earth. The soil, moving to the side as they dug deeper and deeper, until i could notice that I was changing, that my leaves were less wilted than before. And slowly, as I watched, they turned from grey to green. Some of them fell to the ground, but the others grew bigger, and suddenly, I could really feel it -- water, rushing through me. I grew taller, and before long I could see the city from afar, and it looked so small. An ant hill. I could see children running past me, and some would stop and sit beneath my branches. Over time, I gave great shade from the heat of the summer. The days grew hotter, and my leaves were great in size and bright in colour. I was dormant no longer.
