God's Good Grove

.
A muffled voice,
     still and almost silent
          deep within,
Called out as I awoke:
"Won’t you let me show?
     Let me flow as you go!"

Like any tree
     in God's good grove,
Its limbs and branches,
     from push to shove,
Must have room to let grow
     its fruit from above. 

"I’ve been within
     since you first believed,"
          the voice did say,
"Since in Christ you
     were again conceived."

Atop my canopy,
     down from my crown,
My fruit must show,
     love, joy and peace,
          patience, kindness and
               generosity,
          faithfulness, gentleness
               and self-control,
Must
     all
          be
               let
                    to
                         hang
                               full
                                    down
Where the hungry can reach them
     and grow some of their own.
