Lies still and content.
Fractured by years of time
No respect.
Nature`s so cruel
Salt washed, it`s bark
Pale and grey.
Peaceful it lays
On this summer`s day.
Wounded and proud
No secrets it hides.
Down by water`s edge
Tide after tide.
Relentless, the power
What water can do.
Mercy, none shown
Surely tasteless, but true.
Can time make amend`s
To nature`s proud tree.
Eventually broken
On it`s bended knee !.
This once proud creature
Created in time.
Passed by now forever
Laid still and sublime!.
