Artwork by Kimmy Van Kooten All Rights Reserved “If wrong may e'er be right, for a throne's sake were wrong most right:— Be God in all else feared.” Euripides' Phoenician Maidens

Bounded in arms, of branches, wrapped One can rout out thoughts away from all their crap! Lying in its crook, overlooking my hands Elbow room and crosses seem to bend to band . . . Clouded blues, squared . . . Becomes, being twigged . . . Seems to me the natural way has purposely been rigged! Its how bark withstands! Out on the limbs, I’ve spanned Reaching for His Light, even the tree is like a wight!! Plant deeper roots . . . The more rugged ones will hold! Regarding your canopy, if widened, it does unfold! Climbing up is brutal. . . Man, getting there, is fine! Adroit in misdirection? . . . Your stilled, stretching for a sign . . . “No Trespassing, Beyond this Finger!” Copyright 2010 Kimmy Van Kooten

Superb artwork. I fear the Machiavellian twist in the write. Some torture is required for great creativity to flourish.

Being a oak myself I am pleased for your words. Still watching after all these years for a sneaking lumberjack!
