Timber - Bruce Moody

when you stumbled and fell down
into this.
Never stand again.
On your knees remain
where the earth is,
where the fire is ever-ready
and the air ever-clear,
water, and the stones of God.
For the Woods of Error are
the woods of the real,
chosen for us as
the color of your soul.
Lie where forgiveness lies,
make love to that.
For there is nothing else
but gratitude, which is what
all your longing was for.
