The Coexistence Tree

The tree embraces cat and bird. On both its blessing is conferred. In turn, they celebrate the bliss Of this eternal armistice. The tree is rooted in the deep, Where hatred, rage and envy sleep, And reaches up, all gnarled and scarred, To sparkling diadems of stars.

Thanks. The "Coexistence Tree", or "Tree of Coexistence", is a mythical construct. There are charming illustrations of it on the internet. Just search for one of the two terms.
