Oak Poem by sherrie tappenden

Oak

Rating: 3.7


secure in the knowledge
of dried ancient bone,
safe in the arms
of moss-wall and stone.

cunning eyes
random swift
seeks shelter in leaf,
looks for comfort and
reaches out blind
for belief.

trusted landscape of days
and years that are known,
stranded on mountains
of moss-wall and stone.

cheated eyes
false pretence
makes home in the leaf,
eats away and decay cuts
into belief.
