prunus serrula |
Up on the Wall
stands a totem to northern sprites, woad-dabbed irregulars and
the heart-beat of a tree.
Here the mist hisses through leaves,
Sol raises his tired face against
the windflowing down from the Glens
and salutes the old warriors.

I wish so to touch this tree. It truly is sensual and draws one to touch it. How lovely the bark. Instead the poem has touched me.
I agree, Raven. the few I've met have begged to have hands laid upon them. Thanks for this and the poem, Isabel.
Gorgeous poem!
Awesome duo ... love that bark!!
What a wonderful tree - the bark is amazing and just begs to be touched.
beautiful tree does it have fruit?
