The Wishing Tree
Perched on branches
Colorful adornments, rest
As if nature could ever be improved upon
Yet our trees go up, blessed
in many homes and spaces
As we decorate, tie on the bows
With a wish and a prayer
That THIS will be the Christmas
that under goes
A transformation…
The one that brings the Great Hope
To end all despair, to end all anger,
To end all wars, to end all woes
Perched on branches
Colorful adornments, a perplexity
As if our nature could ever be improved upon,
with our human complexity
Yet with our practice, patience, interplay
to always choose LOVE over fear& scarcity
May we live to see each & everyday
As an ecstatic ritual to celebrate
Our sacred diversity of Aliveness
A transformation…for us to consecrate
Perched on branches
Colorful adornments; ALL of creation
May we come to see our alight
in the Tree-of-Life through divine elation
May our wishes then be
For the well being of the WHOLE tree…
