Silent Witness

Free Verse

In the land of eternity
At Elflame, 
Where the nymphs lived
Grew a giant mahogany tree

Memories rely on its every leaf
Reddish-brown trunks, 
Darkens over time
Silent witness of the elapsed days

Laughter and joy
Pain and sorrow
A complete life extravaganzas
That sealed by fate

In every rotation seasons
Remain upright stand
Full of hopes and dreams
An old mahogany tree

trees look so lonely and unhappy.they can't go to malls, they get chopped off.dogs pee on them.people write their names and heart with arrows on them.ouch.andthey have thick skin. then again, lots of people are also lonely. some can't go to malls, they get chopped off in divorce. so there must be a happy tree somewhere...where there are no dogs :)

If only trees could speak is a phrase one hears often. Put down in such a way as you have put it down is different and asks the question gracefully. Not quite sure why the tree has to grow in elf land.
The musiicality of the word Mahogany is well-chosen.
Overall, very pleasant, which makes a change.
