                                              She was fractured hard
                              from the left
                                              the grass bids solace.
                                                   
                                              The Porcupine trunk ignores it.

                             The old sentinel fell
                             many years ago
                                                    but still
                                                    she guards her place.

                           For some time this dragon’s head
                                                 has rested across the bank.
                           Today a beard of icicles,
                                                 not to last in the spring
                                                 green river.

                          Stoic and blemish, natural
                             fortitude, leap
                                             and pride.

                                 Often entropy does not apply

                                     and elephants never forget,

                                         gnarled roots, broken through ground.

                            They cling, as we all do,
                                to the change of seasons,
                                   grey winter not quite gone,
                                         yet green spring
                                                                 just beyond.

                       The Willows by the stream,
                                  were cut down,
                                  they took away the shafts 
                                  and left 
                                            the shards.

                         Rot, rotten, through the core
                         termite, ant-mite, felled
                         by wind, left an Oak leaf,
                                      morsel-to-morsel.

                               Turtle rock, grass, stick,
                               and snow, come upon mud,

                            The snow recedes, and 'neath

                              Good years, and bad years
                              some that nearly ripped us apart
                              but the snow recedes, the spring comes
                              and soon, our sapling will grow.
