THE
SNOW GUM
(Eucalyptus Pauciflora Niphophila)
by Ian M. Johnstone
Its
tortured look reminds us of a bonsai written large,
Its uniform of cream-green-grey could teach us camouflage.
In its trunk there’s signs of struggle, as
if distorted by some pain,
Like legs bent down to lift a weight, it’s
strong to take the strain.
It twists and casts dead branches, it compromises
and survives,
Rugged beauty’s forced upon it, and we see
in it, our lives.

"The
wind sows the seed; the sun evaporates the sea;
the wind blows the vapour to the field; the ice,
on the other side of the plaet, condenses rain on
this; the rain feeds the plant; the plant feeds
the animal: and thus the endless circulations of
the divine charity nourish man."
~ RW Emerson “Nature”
(1836) |
