oak – Page 2 – Leaf And Twig

Oracle Tree

shadows of leaves
dance on the snow
wise is the oak

the new season
asks me to see
everything anew again

all the splendor of the season
contained in a single leaf

In the heart of autumn
the mighty oak, humble and true,
presents the rich variety of shades of brown.

All sorts and conditions
of acorns
constitute the chipmunks hoard.

The forest’s berber
is a durable oak.

Steel and oak.
Strength at rest.
Endurance is often silent.

The stump of an oak grows a miniature forest,
a mountain with moss trees for insects to scale.
