And from the valley low, the ravaged tree
did spring again to life, in leafing spree.
Among the hill rose dales, in humble view
again to be reborn, once more anew.
When left to bear the fruit of hunger’s feast
upon the chatter’s call, to be released.
Where acorns fall the floor on fauna’s feet,
a tree in Autumn's shed, a nature’s feat.
That oak that did in sprawl encompass all
beside the trunk in girth, of my recall.
And when the air that blows and brings to bear
a gentle touch of snows, of chilling air,
those limbs will stately sag and bear the freeze
of earthen gentle snows in Winter’s seize.

ahhhh, I could feel myself all curled up by a fire, wood smell, craklin and a poppin, with a good book in my hand, a glass of wine...smooth red....some crakers and cheese, and Fantasia's greensleeves playing in the background.
Welp, you've gone and taken me to a wonderful place....

Astounding write!
