The branches
that arch over this trail
form a cathedral;
and remind me
of the blessing
in our church
when the parishioners
extend their arms
into the sacred space
arching above their souls
while a prayer for healing
is conferred upon the sick,
and enhanced
by our plentiful palms;
like all the leaves
in the woods
reaching for the sun.
Supplication sustained by praise.
Hope hinged with belief.
