Wilderness

Dear wilderness, be at your best
Her armor is thin as the fabric of her dress
I know the rules: The weaker trees bend
But make her immune
When your temper storms in

When she gains her balance
Be as still as you can be
When she's climbing branches
Be the feathers underneath

When she regains her balance
Be as steady as she needs
When she trusts you blindly
Be her worthy lock and key

Though it goes against
Every grain of your sand
Like turning wolves
Into lambs
Be your best for her
Your best for her

When she holds her balance
Be as gentle as she needs
When she shines her brightest
Let no dark cloud intervene
