Binary Souls
Entombed to the Wood
Born to this world
To Know
To experience the tides of time
A living memeory
For all to see
To All, to know
Walnut Trees
Ominous yet, strikingly graceful, towering tall,
With wind-swept leaf laden branches too strong to fall;
Their thick, deeply channeled bark speaks to a timeless stand,
Defying death by disease growing mighty and grand.
Age-old witness to the passage of human history,
Intolerant to cycles of drought and winter misery;
Here only to serve their natural purpose; to purify Earth’s air,
Their lushful green grandeur of beauty; a gift to humanity to share.
As with all that is natural, an end time will one day come
When the boldness of their presence, no longer hides the Sun;
A sad day truly, for all whom have failed to witness, to see,
This wonder of nature’s doing, these centuries old, Walnut trees.
