Old Tree Healing by Taiko Haessler
|
| Lightning curls around the trunk of Old Tree. Sap curdles close to the chestnut heart— Knots and joints twist with electricity in the night air.
The strike retreats to the whirling sky, powerless against charred black clouds reeling it in.
Blackened skin peels away revealing bright Green underneath . . . Roots shiver into earth.
Quiet night, last whisper of storm fades. Lightning, ashamed of what it's done, Ghosts into death–blind, silent.
Old Tree sends its sap to sing in the calm After the torment. |
