Do Trees Pray?
I passed you every day
And saw how
Mightily
You had been struck down!
Did lightning
Visit you?
Your riven trunk
Gaping to the sky.
I noticed your remaining
shape
Like praying hands
beseeching heaven.
The following Spring
New shoots appeared
And green leaves.
You offered this
New life to
the skies.
An answered prayer.
