The Heavenly Host

I stand by a tree, who is my friend;
I met him long ago--many eons--
And upon my millennia strolls
I came upon this tree, and it saluted me.
My heart in childish glee played jump rope
And ate the berries from its boughs
And we for long times communed
In the way a man communes with nature.
I told him my joys, and it made animated breaths
And shivered, and was happy and carefree as me.
And when I parted from that tree
I had the heart of a little joyful child
And wandered my way, to meet my friend
Many eons and infinite would be our meetings
And every tree I met, that clapped for me
I shall meet and speak, for time is eternal---
Understand this concept. Every heavenly bouth
All infinite of them, I shall befriend and meet
And infinitely be pleased by their fruits
And so with the kine and children of God
Whom every heavenly host I shall meet
And infinitely meet them for infinite time
And each personality shall I know
And every fruit tree, animal, fish, and bird
Shall I know, and scatter the seed of joy
Throughout the kingdom wherever I walk
It shall be claimed.
