Revelation

The tree came out of the ground like a tower.
It struck the earth, a mighty scepter.
The tree stood impenetrable.
It arose and became
a guardian
giving home to an eagle's nest.
Its roots like anchors, it shielded
the smaller creatures.
Drifting down,
its leaves became poems
and ignited fire.

The tree came from within.
The heart bloomed
like the woods.
Winter shied away,
and spring flooded the wilderness.
All that lay dormant
awakened.
