Branches of Quiet Faith

The trees are filled
with souls in waiting.

Holding one another in quiet faith,
sitting within their calm,
roots hidden from sight —

Their leaves not yet spoken,
waiting
for branches to awaken into spring.

In silence —
we meet the fathers
and sit beside the mothers.

We walk forward
through their echoes,
our roots deepening
in unseen soil.

The tree gathers everything —
the hidden pieces,
the struggles,
the fragments once feared
and slowly learned to love.

This is the path:
to know life whole —
its wounds,
its joys.

And to remember
we are branches
of the same living tree,
grown
from God’s love.
