I’m heading to a special wood. A magic place to be. Where whispers can be heard, from swaying branch of every tree. There’s Oak and Willow, Ash and Cherry too. Each has a tale to tell and they’re whispering it to you. I’m going to a special tree. It’s been here just one thousand days. At its trunk I sit to listen to the branches in the breeze. I pass to it my confidences and tell it tales anew. In the hope you hear me through prayers I send to you. They don’t just talk, you know. They take the time to listen too. If you’ve got a tale to tell, the tree will pass it on for you. So, find yourself a special tree and tell to it your tale. With a rustle in its leaves, your story, upon the breeze, will sail. Each tree, like a guardian, stands tall and stout. Giving succour to the ground and all the flora ‘round about. Their branches reaching to the sky. Their roots the soil beneath. A bridge ‘tween heaven and earth. Giving faith to my belief. I gaze upon this special tree. Think back a thousand days. ‘Tis here you’re laid to rest. The place I come to pray. This tree brings hope, that much is true, and like a conduit, through it, ‘tis my way, to commune with you.

The Woods
I’m heading to a special wood. A magic place to be. Where whispers can be heard, from swaying branch of every tree. There’s Oak and Willow, Ash and Cherry too.

a thousand days since my Wife was buried in a woodland cemetary
