Tree

roots 
    gone prodigal
  
    an astray
    penetrating
    the laterite
    beneath

    while a bleat
    splayed on an altar
  
     where a bare oak
     nailed to the sky
     sheds blood and water

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
