twisted branches claw for the dark sky
from this ancient eternal tree
standing tall from a thicket
its age unsurpassed
its primordial roots entombed in terra firma
its wisdom of all time unspoken
the grown of its trunk it only voice
primeval petrified bark clings to its trunk like armor plating
protecting it from the decay of time
and the end of all life
ancient eternal tree!
the unfallen one!!!!
twisted branches claw for the darkened sky
the decay of time and life
end of life
