She limped into a shady glen,

drawn there by Whispered Love:

"Come take your rest here unoppressed

as Pain roars high above you."

And at its heart a Great Elm stood,

leaves rustling in the breeze.

"Come trust the Earth, believe your worth

when troubles seek to freeze you."

She gazed around with ravaged face;

her burdens pierced her breast.

"Come sing a song, for far too long

these trials have sought to test you."

A glen of hope, a glimpse of peace

revived the heartsick traveller.

A glen of peace, a glimpse of hope,

a tangled web Unraveller.

*

A gentle humming filled the air,

its promise soothed her mind:

"Come cry with us, then fly with us

beyond the fears that bind you."

With trembling hands she shared her load

with Trees of every age.

"Come take my tears and all my fears,

your power now uncage me."

The Elm Tree washed her wounds with love,

renascent hope untied.

"Come lift your voice; you have a choice.

Let Earth redeem and guide you."

A glen of strength, a glimpse of power

restored the new-healed traveller.

A glen of power, a glimpse of strength,

a friendship web and Raveller.
