Matthew Brackley Poet Ballad

The Giving Tree

Deep in Heartstone

Amongst the Whispering Trees

Grew, The Giving Tree

 

I felt its’ heart

Below the bark

And asked

What of me?

 

The leaves rustled

The breeze lifted

I pressed my cheek to its’ heart

And felt everything gifted

 

What I feel

Centuries old

Of magic

Of nature

Of faeries told

 

To be chosen

To carry the bow

Defend all

The Heartstone in the Great Hall

The Kings and Queens

Of Knights deeds

To repel the Ice king

And the heart, so frozen

 

The Giving Tree

I felt its’ heart

Below the bark

And knew instantly

 

To see

The flight of an arrow

On to its ‘ mark

This I felt

In the heart

Below the bark

Of the giving tree
