Tree On Knotted Knee

Tree befallen...
Moss crept, covered green
Bow thyself down 
Onto ache of knotted knee

Ashen Oak...
Ageless elder, time's casualty
May you molder 
Swift into winter's drifting sleep

Sacrificial timber...
In decay, another's sanctuary
Are thee eternal, yet alive
In a peace of nature's dream
