Wollemi Pine

Since the beginning of time,  

When ancient forests whispered to the wind,  

A timeless tree stood tall and proud —

The Wollemi Pine.

Each needle, sharp as a blade,  

Unfolds the secret of a world once lost.  

It weaves a tapestry of ancient days,  

A testament to time's cost.

Yet here it stands, a monument of grace,  

Defying all the rules of age,  

A sacred place to hide away,  

Like a bridge to ancient Australia.

Let us cherish and revere this majestic tree,  

A symbol of resilience, strength, and kindness.  

In its stillness, find peace and eternity,  

And let its wisdom guide our hearts and minds.

Relentless in its strength,  

The Wollemi faces extinction.    

This figure of serenity is running out.  

Take in its grace while it's still here.
