The trees whispered my name

Come

The birds sang my praises

Come

The leaves cheered me on

Come

The ground woke up to my steps

Come

They said, “this is your homecoming.” 

They said, “this is where you belong.”

The wind whispered my name

Come

The rain showered me with its drops

Come 

The Outpouring of love was generous 

They told me life sprung eternal

They told me from death came birth 

They told me they fed the soil with my tears 

They told me now I could rest in the green

The lushness, the breath, the life.
