the wise ol' oak tree
was the heart of the woods
harboring little red squirrels;
with their burrows in the trunk
its roots running deep down,
hidden below earth
it had seen tales unfold,
for good or for worse

it was a handed-down
home to Arizona woodpeckers
feuille morte beech leaves;
spread out like a mat
over the earth

little rays would escape
the canopy
and your cognac-laced eyes
would beam like topaz gemstones

it was probably the moment I realized
you'd always been the sun of my empyrean curve
even on the days of cloudburst,
you were still soft and welcoming;
always a gentle touch

I scraped my knee once,
a day to remember it was
whimpering out of pain
I sure troubled you a lot

you intertwined our fingers
rubbing my tears away
you had a heart of gold
I hope you're still the same
