Nature/Environment ...The Old Oak Tree
Karyn Indursky
Sprinkling leaves christen
a floor of grass
under the old oak tree.
Each leaf falls off
leaving marks upon
the old oak tree.
Every mark means
something special to
the old oak tree.
Special occasions and feelings
are embroidered upon the bark
of the old oak tree.
Embroidered bark tells
all who came and cared
with the old oak tree.
All who came and cared
fled to move on
as did the old oak tree.
Moving on was never simple
and isn't now even with the aging
of the old oak tree.
Even with aging
the old is remembered and loved
by this old oak trees.
Memories and love help
begin new buds as I am...
the old oak tree.
