The immortal tree

Published 17 September 2023
I am standing tall,
Leaves are falling, all around
They are forming,
A colourful carpet, all around me
I am standing tall,
The snow has fallen,
The homeless tent below lies exposed
I can not protect them anymore, from the sun
I am standing tall
Buds blossoming, all around
Flowers blooming everywhere
Birds are chirping happily
I am standing tall
In all my glory
The sun is furious above
I am sheltering the harmless from the sun's fury
I may die
But my roots still
Pass on my memories
I am the immortal elm tree
