My Yggdrassil

Ash Moon

24 Mar

 

mighty Ash, battle-scarred yet healing

callousing wounds over dead heartwood

mossy armchair bole flaring out for comfort

waiting chamber beneath inviting gifts

in return for wisdom, connection with

underworld below and heaven above

 

 

roots roaming wide on woodland floor

finding anchorage, nutrition, connection

canopy stretching tall to the sky above

finding fire for growth, communion with gods

unique in a woodland of younger Ash

you were saved and I found you

 

long-known yet scarcely appreciated

for your depth and heights

majestic presence here and now

my doorway to this woodland realm

mother Earth and hidden old ones

expansion surpassing understanding

 

I feel your deep fury and resignation

of what is, of what is yet to come

looming tragedy of desolation

lumbering ire at the folly of men

still we have our forest communion

resilience of Ash and soul love of woman
