Take My Pulse - Where the Tall Trees Grow

Come to me when your populated world fails you - fails to hear your tears or meets them with derision. Come to me when you feel abandoned and your pain a burden. When the dowagers hump is a pattern too far. Seek me out. Search for me. For my embrace can encompass your sorrow - hold your cares, as if feather-light. I have all you need, so seek me. I'll be waiting where the tall trees grow.

Come to me when hope has fled on hurried wings - when regrets have bled your vessel dry. Come to me when your heart has failed to believe your mantra. And the words you speak turn to ash on faithless lips. Seek me out. Search for me. For I can refill your cup - refill it with the purity of rainfall. I have all you need, so seek me. I'll be waiting where the tall trees grow.

Come to me when life's obscene glare saps you dry - makes you stare in disbelief. Come to me when you are parched for truth and lies serrate your skin. When you are sore and raw. Seek me out. Search for me. For I am a soothing balm - my canopy a shelter. I have all you need, so seek me. I'll be waiting where the tall trees grow.

Come to me when you are lost - when shadows are no longer lamp-lit. Come to me when your journeys are dead ends. When north and south are merely words in a foreign dictionary - words you fail to understand. Seek me out. Search for me. I will guide you through the chaos - show you where to go. I have all you need, so seek me. I'll be waiting where the tall trees grow.

Come to me when you are weak - when your strength is barely a pulse - beat. A mere flutter of the heart. Come to me when you have lost the rhythm of your earthly dance. Seek me out. Search for me. Wrap your arms around me - feel my bark against your skin and the strength of mother earth. I have all you need, so seek me. I'll be waiting where the tall trees grow.

And where they grow - we can dance. For our strength is deeply rooted. With limbs outstretched - drink from the sky-light and rain-supreme. Seek me out. Search for me. For you can take my pulse and make it your own. Let your soul be reignited. I have all you need. So come to me. I'll be waiting where the tall trees grow.
