O... Live Trees' Stress O...Press Watershed Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

O ver peaks sun peeks, sloughs off whisp cloud,
L ingers long, strong shines as time advances.
I ce caps doffed, time scoffed, mount chain dream dances
V ista clear appears from madding crowd
E ver protected. Setting: trees unbowed.
O ne look seems superficial though, the glance is -
L ost chances -{s}[l]inking landscape that askance is -
I dyllic scene ignores an unavowed
V ision of catastrophe uncowed -
E vents may trump mankind whose harsh-hand stance is
O verplayed, gale wind of change finances.
LI fe's trees are threatened, boughs, though well endowed
VE ry soon shall suffer stress climactic
TREES drowned, seas round, solutions prophylactic
too hazy to stave off tectonic slip
past tipping point as Greenland's glaciers [st]rip
from time-lock rocks three thousand yards below
subarctic surface melting floe to flow.
Here drought rout(e) taken, there abyss galactic,
out of kilter everywhere, no tactic
improvised, autodidactic trip
will seal off tides submerging coastal strip,
may gain ground lost to winds of change which blow
waves over lands which unseen angst scarce show...
