The Reveal

This blogging world amazes me. In me realm there are artists, writers, gardeners, ponderers, all such wonderful folk. I was asked to contribute a few words to The Artist Challenge for The Reveal Challenge. The following is me pondering :)

The Reveal

The ancient oak stood strong
centred in the grove of saplings
her young, from her acorns
once seeds of a union so intense
it is still whispered on the wind.

Weathered bark peeled away
with each years passing leaving
her body, her mighty limbs
torn twigs, shredded leaves falling
before the season said change

Axes struck sharp and hard
shattering the forest calm while
creatures paused in silent reverence
as The Green Man gathered acorns
revealing their secret for eternal life

Come sit with me at The Pond today

Come sit with me at The Pond today
I’ll tell you tales of ole
of a simpler time when we were young
where our future was foretold.

Come sit with me at The Pond today
watching the clouds float by
chosing shapes and patterns
known only by us with our own eyes

Come sit with me at The Pond today
imagining armada’s setting out to sea
while leaves float over the water
as our minds set sail at ease.

Come sit with me at The Pond today
soaking in the warmth of suns rays
though Winter will be soon upon us
we know there will be better days.

Come sit with me at The Pond today
following ladybugs and dragonflies
flitting about in their last hurrah
ss they seek shelter while waving goodbye.

Come sit with me at The Pond today
Come sit with me at The Pond…
