About the work
I stand next to an Oak tree
Feeling its strong presence Touching the texture of its bark The grooves and pathways, Seeking the wisdom of its centries Sentry in this field Witin the rough and the smooth
The knowledge I have not opens me to its enlighten Whispers in the hushed of the breeze
Centuries, sentry in this field Watching beings pass unaware Or simply stare, not one seeking or thinking I’m cognizant
Yet, this being before me, examining her from within, and without, excites Her

Title The Oak
I stand next to an Oak tree
Feeling its strong presence Touching the texture of its bark The grooves and pathways, Seeking the wisdom of its centries Sentry in this field Witin the rough and the smooth
The knowledge I have not opens me to its enlighten Whispers in the hushed of the breeze
Centuries, sentry in this field Watching beings pass unaware Or simply stare, not one seeking or thinking I’m cognizant
Yet, this being before me, examining her from within, and without, excites Her
