#307 the Memory of Tree and Man
Among the oak stained pinewood columns
Upon the many levels of steel rack row
Here sit the trees of a hundred years
Each one a spectacle of memory
Each, Holds memory of particular value
The Tree.
And here it reveals the life
Telling the story of thousands
The many, many memories dawned
Each a tribute within the price
Each, the light of a soul
The Man.
Strewn about within colossal order
Beneath the whitened ceiling
The memories kept freshened by the flow
Of tiled air
Where the soul and life collide
Into this harmonic conception
The Memory.
Remembers here in final rest
The multitude of color and print
The elders, the siblings and younger still
The memory of Tree and Man.
