The Oak Tree

The Oak Tree

A Poem by Courtney

Oak tree towers high above
Strong and oh so true
Bound to Earth with it's pure love
Sapling ever grew

Cracking limbs sway in the breeze
Turned into a storm
Roots rip as the time does freeze
Life which to reform

Crashing down with lightning cracks
On the forest floor
Willpower to stay up slacks
Floodgates open door

The strongest forms are set to fall
Fabricated might will only stall

A beautifully woven piece. It speaks to me of the constant tug of mother nature and how she will always win in the end, even if man does everything in it's power to prevent it. Makes me think... Don't build where the rivers flood, the storm surge flows or the wind's blow stronger than the tree's are deep.

Great Ink! Thanks for sharing!
