lyrics

Look up – see where there is still sky.

Soon the forest will converge
On all that blue,
Trading the sun high branches for grass.

Years ago a clearing was made,
A neat oval drawn with compass-like precision
Around a barn,
Trees cleared, grass seeded,
Human claim in modest form.

The trees stood at attention,
Eager for their new assignment,
Guarding the clearing,
Standing in definition,
Making place.

Now they bend, the oval closing –
Not from below but from above,
A heliotropic dance:
Hundreds of arms, decked with leaves
Stretch to find the light,
Inch by inch they yearn for discovery,
Year by year they move closer.
Like a circle of Matisse dancers,
They are seen with multiple foregrounds
And in every season,
Still nearer, still in seeming motion,
Fueled by longing,
Time on their side.

And so love of light
Creates its scarcity.
So love of one another
Diminishes freedom.
We grow in our longing
Still closer,
Still reaching,
Ever more tightly knit,
Always longing to touch,
Aching to trade the space between
For communion.
