Countless the rings that told of age this weathered oak that stood alone. Bearer of dreams that fill one's page beside the babbling waters stone. A glinting blade would carve through skin and brand eternal love that grew. Two hearts as one that will suspend amongst the limbs where ravens flew. Succeed the supple skin of sapling Encroached in winter's frigid grappling Grown strong and tall, be leaves et all Through lightning strikes, and harvest ball Bend with the wind, stretch high blue sky Carved forever true my love and I The girth of limb and legacy Remembers time endearingly Two lovers met eternally Beneath the fine broad canopy And from this kiss a child to grow To climb the lookout's highest crow Though gravity pulls heartily The worth of limb indelibly Their souls rejoiced amongst the earth as each did touch and stroll away. Conjoined, two rings at wedded birth a circlet three in Springs display. Left there to stand this castle be imagined long by young and old, a pedigree and dynasty forever young...the story's told |

This is wonderful. I have tender memories associated with Oak trees and the story your poem weaves brought them all to the fore. Thank you! |
