Big Oak stands on his own

Never bending, never bowing

Standing strong against the winds

Unbothered by viscous storms

His limbs reach out to the sky

with no remorse

His roots tethered into earth,

Anchoring slow and deliberately

Big Oak isn’t bothered by tiny creatures

He stands wise and watches over them

Shelters them from the rain

Nourishing them with small miracles that grow

from his branches

Big Oak reaches for his brother, Sun

and isn’t afraid of Suns wrath

Instead he grows higher to reach him

To feed off of his light and warmth

Big oak was here first

But he doesn’t brag

Or ask for recognition

He settles quietly in his domain

Enjoying his own existence

And when Big Oak Falls

His rumble can be heard for miles

It shatters and shakes the whole forest

He leaves a gaping hole in Mother Earth

As she weeps for his absence

Big Oak doesn’t mind, for it is his time

He says goodbye to the tiny creatures,

Farewell to Brother Sun

For he revels in the thought

that his legacy will go on
