Biblical Stance

The force of moving water is one
That demands respect
Yet here in the midst of turmoil
This tree makes a biblical stance
Its roots are strong
Firmly set
The force of the water
Merely felt
It stands unmoving
Announcing
With deafening silence
Faith endures unshaken, unearthed
This tree spoke to me
In its biblical stance.

Hi Pauline,
the tree straight with strong roots
the house built on solid rock
time for us all to take stock
xmas now! - time to fill our boots
