Inscribed inside these ancient stumps
long-rolling tales of centuries

reciting climates
deluge
droughts

infestations

vicious bouts
of windy shifts

infirmities

corrosion
coldness

injuries

conditions whispered
every band

historians of limbs and land
their chronicles our own concern

how chainsaws razed
or forests burned.

Epiphanies - how nature sings
and centers us within its rings!
