Timeless - The Mag

"To be evenminded

is the greatest virtue.

Wisdom is to speak

the truth and act

in keeping with its nature."

- Heraclitus

THE MAG

From this Land

of

Chattering Folk

Grow Trees

Why do

Trees speak

even to those who 

cannot tell an elm from 

a four-hundred year old oak?

As it whispers from the hallows

of those mighty Pillars in close formation,

swinging low from Angel Oak to the many dancing 

magical auras rooted deep within the most beloved Zelkova, 

with its ornamental shade and wise old trunks sagging

of honesty and swallowing up old vows 

Cast by sticks and stones, shedding happiness and fertility

and shade with limbs of power branching strangely under 

rituals and myths both past and present 

 deeply rooted

in our souls

igniting auras

evermore.

Now for the nature of things in my neck of the woods.

A whiteness powdered the sky around us.

We welcome not this storm of spring

and still it came in festive fling.

Branches worn heavy, of white shag in March Madness form.

No blistering blizzard 
simply silent-slanting snow falling
10 inches deep it scissored
the center of our spring.
