The ancient oak stood strong
centered in the grove of saplings
her young, from her acorns
once seeds of a union so intense
it is still whispered on the wind.
Weathered bark peeled away
with each years passing leaving
her body, her mighty limbs
torn twigs, shredded leaves falling
before the season said change.
Axes struck sharp and hard
shattering the forest calm while
creatures paused in silent reverence
as The Green Man gathered acorns
revealing their secret of eternal life.

Cheryl,
I enjoyed this poem very much. I have a fondness for acorns and oak trees, painting them
many times. I’ve collected a new batch for this winter’s painting-they remind me to have strength.

Why thank you Vikki & Rusty, I am honoured to participate with such creative folks.
Rusty, I brought home an oak branch many years ago. With no special care the leaves remain soft and one wee acorn hangs on. A very strong tree it tis.
