Once
Tall and Majestic
Then
Split and Torn
by
layers of ice—
cold hardness
weighing
ripping
killing
Then
Resurrection
Sap healing the whitened flesh
a glossy amber
green under bark
Birds—
Caterpillar legs
And a hidden message of
Life
a secret code of
Rebirth
Then
Evolution
Life unfurling its sails
into warm scented winds
Sheltering me
in a canopy of green
Interwove leaves
Nestling me
within soundless sunlight
Cradling me
in dapples of shadow
and darts of sunshine
Cocooning me
within Tranquility
