Proverbs 3:18

“She is a tree of life to all those who lay hold of her
Those who hold her fast are called blessed.” (Proverbs 3:18)

I bring nothing Lord, but a foolish heart
And ask for hunger and the yearning
To wrap tight my arms around the trunk
To smell and blossoms bursting around my head
To hear the sounds of spring-time life; the warble
Of birds and buzzing bees and wind, and freshness
Oh the life of wisdom that you hold out
To fools like me,
When you wrapped your arms around another tree
and cried out
In abandon
