The Pine Tree
ОглавлениеMajestically honouring the creator
in a quiet and secluded place
a rocky castle was built by nature,
elevated from the bowels of earth.
Archaic in structure, solid and inflexible
an architectural miracle
transcending a surreal stupefaction.
Rich in nourishment
for some biological species.
In the top of the cliff
the stage of the great maestro
succumbs to God is feet
among clouds cloaked with haze
refreshing its conspicuous roots.
In its long and steady branches
the nest of a golden eagle
dwells amid the leaves.
The wind whistled in its branches
scattering messages from a recent past.
Memories from fallen civilizations crucified by greed.
The maestro and its apprentice convey this revelation
by spreading waves of vibrant sounds
to all the trees of the valley.
Given to it by chance the divine faculty
because it is blessed by shape and splendour.
Glad to embrace its fate
picturing in energy what it receives.
Transferring for its fellows
in their inflicted blindness.
Memories from fallen civilizations crucified by greed.
