Photography and magnification and invert on my back yard Oak...Kimmy Van Kooten

Enactments of some epic battlement Lives on, within my oak Where a warrior’s flesh Is laid to rest . . . the roots embodied his presence. Its bark, built the stage. . . With its bending branches curled up in the last pose he gave! The crevices, his reverences . . . to those he once killed See the laterality in the trees! I can see him with his shaft Kneeling . . . He seems to gasp! . . . or is he stilled, in taking? Taking . . . from the last breath he took? Now, my eye saw the hook! A woman and child lookout, as if hovering in fear They knew their enemy was near! (You know my fire pit has tears!) I think maybe it’s he . . . sweating it out, I see! Him, knowing in death, his sins . . . Proffer from the coffers of your Oaks! Your excessive nests. . . leaves, wither and die Undue time IS a bit much . . . No? And unrestrained! His Reign will never wash it away! Every day I see this paladin, and all that has seeded since . . . Look on your lands and see this! The real victory lies in the dirt you feed off of . . . Rooted in what? Love? Copyright 2010 Kimmy Van Kooten

It is truly amazing when we open our minds and think of the possibilities. Some of these trees have lived for centuries and have seen so much of world change and people lives. Great write Kimmy.
