A Grander Tree

a Romantic poem

A Grander Tree

 

Vibrant vines grew over iron spikes

And Nature’s child grew tall and strong

With tough skin and a crow of leaves

Golden sunshine feeds the tree

Green grass is its bed

But the earth and ground is also

The resting place

For tombstones and the dead

Slabs of granite protrude from the ground

Ghosts of the damned carry axes

Their ethereal blades hew away at the tree

With a sickening snap, Nature’s daughter dies

Each branch cracking as it strikes the earth

With Winter’s Breath

The icy roots chill the graves

Bringing the dead back where they belong

And Nature reclaims their corpses

Their flesh is payment for her daughter
