The Trees of the Field

Howling the wind whirls wild today
Battering the brave upstanding trees
Captives bent of this unpolished field
Confusings in the tides of men
Making chaos of the light

But still flows the music 
Wherever they have not been
The dust of a million stars still survives
Patient in simplicity’s keeping
Burned of all the brave trees of the field

In their nothingness a shining
No wind strong enough to dull them
Could ever find them
Safe behind their enclosing walls
Hidden in the lap of another land

But how the wind howls seeking its revenge
The shining trees had escaped!
Released from every proud clutching
They just clapped their hands
And never did a stray blast
Un-nerve their sacred trust in love
Delight through all their fearless being!

Lost in light love’s wine creamed through them
Everland lit overflowing with milk and honey
Bright rich wine, white with stardust ashes 
Their former first life surpassed of a second
And all the trees, full fed, follow on to know
