Born in the lowland
protected from the wind
this tree was living
a good life always...
blossoming out in the spring breeze,
giving shades to summer birds,
dressing up in gold in autumn,
sleeping in peace through wnter;
and now...
he is awake and content.
Many years have passed.
It has been an ordinary life
with happiness and sadness;
and now...
the lowland is sunk in water.
Standing there valiantly
is this old tree,
no more flowers and golden leaves;
and now...
only offering
proud silence
in the marsh.
t.m.s.
