An Old Willow Oak:

An old Willow Oak,
Enormously huge and grey,
Towers above all,
Softly glows in the days light,
Being all the birds envy.

Funny you should say that Nette, I actually had Yggdrasil in mind when I composed this, though it is an Ash tree it does contain the heavens, Thanks Nette /|\
