the lone tree

LEAVES ON THE GROUND COVERED BY SNOW
THE LONE TREE STANDS WHERE THE FIERCE WINDS BLOW
IN THISSEASON OF ICE DEEP IN SLEEP
WHAT SECRETS AND KNOWLEDGE DOES THE LONE TREE KEEP
GONE WITHIN TO REST AND RENEW
LIVING YET DORMANT TILL SPRING COMES ANEW
A SCENT ON THE BREEZE A FEELING IN THE AIR
OF SPRINGS GENTLE WINDS THE LONE TREE IS AWARE
STIRRING FROM SLUMBER AWAKE AND REVIVED
ONLY BY GOING WITHIN DOES THE LONE TREE SURVIVE
BURSTING WITH LIFE HE SHAKES OFF THE SNOW
AS THE SHACKLES OF ICE BREAK THE LONE TREE WILL GROW
SPOUTING BUDS LEAVES BURSTING WITH LIFE
THE LONE TREE OVERTHROWS WINTERS COLD VISE
CLOAKED IN GREEN THE COLOR OF MOTHER EARTH
SPRINGS GENTLE SUN BRINGS THE LONE TREES REBIRTH
FROM SEASON TO SEASON YEAR AFTER YEAR
CENTURIES GONE BY THE LONE TREE'S STILL HERE
A GAURDIAN OF THE LIGHT PROTECTOR OF US ALL
AS LONG AS THERE'S HOPE THE LONE TREE WON'T FALL
