A Mighty Oak

My journey has come to a close
the time has come to go home
to the place where I live. 

My heart is lighter
My strength is stronger
more powerful
My love is more pure 
than ever. 

I touched a mighty oak 
and she spoke to me 
in words I can only wonder. 

I cried
the touch went so deep 
into my core
without any warning. 
I cried when I touched
the trunk of that
mighty oak. 

I asked her to speak to me
words of wisdom
words of healing
words of truth. 

I gave thanks to those 
who had come before me
and paved this way.

I touched that mighty oak
when she called to me
and said, "Here I am!" 

Trust in me
Honor me
Respect me. 

And I will give
you the peace, love, and joy
of the ages. 

That which you seek
you have found here with me
I cried when I touched that mighty oak. 

This part of my journey is over...
and SHE has set me free.
