WEATHERED WOOD ROCK HARD

Immemorial

WEATHERED WOOD ROCK HARD

 

weathered wood rock hard

grows slow at season start

below waters glacial pond

flows past dusk til dawn

rings around stories told

books will never get to hold

rooted in ancient crust

made of stars once cosmic dust

 

weathered wood rock hard

grows as it stands on guard

timbered ground looks green

with meadow grass in between

gnarled trunks of broken limbs

sheltered from cold night winds

creatures that creep and fly

made of stars above blue sky
