Oratio: Dead Trees Must Fall

The Lord uproots
the dead trees
in our garden
making the old new
making the weak strong
shining His light
on the open spaces
where He has made
a new way
into our hearts
for He does not allow
us to cling to the past
His ways are resurrection
and renewal
but for these to take place
dead trees must fall

~Robert Van Valkenburgh
