Centuries of storms,
Gnarled and withered with age,
The old tree lives on
One last flowering
One last branch of greenest leaves
One last ripened fruit
A small seed is sown ~
Warmth, light, moisture, nourishment,
The tree will soon grow
Towards the sunlight
Eager, branching, living hope
A home and haven.
The forest sighs, pleased
One more tree to sing its song
Of life, of hope, joy.
