Soldiers of Nature
A testimony of time
staring of into
the distance
A storm blowing
dark clouds
Howling its way
across the sea
trees like gladiators
hanging branches
bent with age
faced the wind
rooted firm
Braced for the raging storm
twisted with the pain of centuries
protecting us
from its force
like wings
their branches blown back
our first defence
our shield
against the elements
Rooted firm
they stand tall
through the cries and moans
of natures souls
whistling and moaning
through their branches
Warning us
of whats to come
hundreds of years
we stood
in all seasons ,
all weathers
Looking around
fallen soldiers
broken trunks
tore from the ground
years they held
their ground
Now sitting
at the fire
a log in my hand
only now
you give me warmth
soldiers are trees
Around a fire
we tell our tale
as firmly we stood
against the gale
another day
another battle
