Every tree Every tree stands apart its lonely branches extended from an acorn cast out each spring reaching above its hardened view each summer stretching across thin air Bent by four unseeable winds its shape is defined and gnarls in age Leaves and leaves are sent away but roots hidden from view may touch and fuse © 061303 |

and such is the way of life itself, that the gnarliest roots often hold the greatest source of beauty and wisdom I'll be keeping this one, Krawdad. |

Krawdad A tree is strong and independent, but nourished by the closeness of touching roots...Enjoyed the thought of this and how it relates to many things. |
