the woods different,
the forests quiet,
the chainsaws silent
no men in the trees.
mechanized clearing,
so many fewer workers;
narrow trunks taken
those that would have been left
for others to harvest.

Habakkuk
3:17-19 (NIV)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Habakkuk+3%3A17-19&version=NIV
17 Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.

18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.
19 The
Sovereign Lord is my
strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to tread on the heights.”
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,

Habakkuk
3:17-19 (rewritten by me, one version)
17 Though the mills may be shuttered
and the forests are
empty,
though the fields do
not provide
their bounty, their
harvest,
though the young are
departing
for greener pastures,
18 yet I rejoice in my God
I will be joyful in
Christ my Savior.
19 The Creator of the universe is my rock
I am like the deer, its
hooves
steady on the Mountain.
