THE GOD TREE

You have Eyes, O God Tree. From within, they call out to me. Yet here I wilt... Aware: You also have Arms. Please branch out To draw me in Closely, tenderly To Your Loving Embrace. Let me hide In Your Caressing Leaves. Empower in me Your Gift of Faith in Your Love. Bring me to this Strength, Of using all Your Gifts Until Your Graces overflow And Life returns.

Additional Notes:
I hope that the capitalizations don't throw off any readers of "The God Tree." For me it is a traditional way to express a NOW AWE! It's a fearless but powerful awe.
