Old Man Tree

Old man tree?

How long have you been around?

What sort of things have you seen?

You stand full of might,
with limbs still holding life.
Despite the age of some

among the other trees alive.
You are planted alone,

Sun and moon for years,
have grown you tall.
In the place your seed,
decided to fall.

A mirror image of you,
grows in Paradise beyond.
And in the poets verse,
And the mystic’s eye.
