GREEN HEALING
High in the tall pines, the wind is a flute,
Sending a green tune
Out to envelop all who can hear.
The sound becomes a mantle,
Wrapping around our shoulders,
Clothing us.
Wearing this new garment,
We wander back to childhood,
Hearing every melody,
Green and sweet.
Crossing song’s river
On a chariot’s low notes,
We are washed
In sound waters—
Healed by music, Greener than time.
