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
