Mighty Oak

Mighty Oak, bent with age
I come to sit here in your shade.
You've guarded this meadow for hundreds of years.
Already old before the city was here.
I come and I sit and
I make myself still
And when my thoughts cease
It's your voice I can hear.
It's felt more than heard
Like a low rumbling song.
I close my eyes and
The visions come:
Of newly hatched chicks
Housed high in the leaves,
Of lovers laying together beneath,
Of squirrels hiding acorns in Fall,
Of the meadow's grasses
Turning brown in the sun.
Bright butterfly flashes of color I see
High up in the canopy.
When once again I open my eyes
Breath esccapes me with a sigh.
Problems don't seem quite as bad
Compared to your immense life-span.
So I thank you once again,
Old Tree,
For sharing a bit of your wisdom
With me.
