Decades ago tiny seeds were planted
by benevolent earth-minded people
Five magnificent beauties of nature
entwined branches a glorious feature
Take note a circle of five appears
in this photograph by today’s peer
the story lies within, intentional or not
creation centered witchcraft perhaps
shades of color: emerald, aquamarine
olive, lime, sage, jade infused greenery
powerful images of nature’s timeline
tree trunk’s rings a weathered sign
that the pulse of life comes full circle
