Thornilee Birch
THORNILEE BIRCH
Rising between the greens and blues
Where earth and universe in contrasting hues Blend together in an eternal embrace
The silvery birch strikes upward like lightening
It’s forked branches piercing the azure sky
With remnants of its past clinging on Dormantly dreaming of renewal and rebirth Before spring’s next gentle call
Its Ancient Golden Knowledge precariously hangs Shimmering amongst the rustic remnants of history That Age now to paradise is lost
Each single leaf, a testament to its story Recalling Nature’s sacred wisdom
Every vein, like neurones and synapses
Fusing all to the fabric of a Greater Whole Watched on from ethereal clouds drifting in spirit by Acknowledging Van Gogh’s perceptive eye
Now, the Felter’s craft with spellbinding skill
Pays homage to the force that is Nature’s Will
With threads and fibres replacing textured oil Weaving intricately together both air and soil
A moment suspended - profound and magical Forever? Perhaps.
