If Trees Could Talk
If the trees could talk and the mountains sing, what would they say? Perhaps they would tell of a creator or perhaps they would once and for all set straight the mess man has made of creations beginning. Wouldn't it be amazing if they would recount such stories as the flood, or maybe even the life of Christ?What if trees could talk and mountains sing? Well in all of my short life, I have never heard of a tree talking nor a mountain singing, except in fables and fairy tales. So if the mountains can't sing and the trees have no ability to talk, who can and who should be both talking and singing? What has happened to the bride? What has happened to the body? What has happened to the mouths that were filled? Should it be said that the mouths of purity have traded their birth right for a bowl of soup? Should the mouths of the body (for this body has many) be caught on that day, when the sky will part and the Creator returns, should they be found with words that have not left their lips and songs that have not filled the empty heart of the lost? There is a cry from heaven, and rumbling in the ground, let the mouths be filled and let words roll off the lips of the children. Let the proud be humbled, let the mighty become weak. Let the living become dead so that they might GO with life not of themselves, so that they might speak words not thought up of themselves. Let the ground tremble where they walk, for the one that leads them is the same who put the dust under their feet and the sky above their heads. So leave the trees to sway in the wind, let the mountains remain unheard, but in all and with all, be crucified that you might live, be broken that you may be strong, and pour out the words of purity and truth which have been placed in your very mouth. Let the love that has filled your heart, not rot in there, for that love is be be over flowed and poured out on a land of dryness. Let the deaf hear, and the dumb sing, let the heavens declare that they who said yes to the Lord also fulfilled their promise.
