Hollow like
a log Long on
the ground
A hole inside
where my
spirit once
dwelled And
enabled me
to stand tall
Where birds
would nest
and call And
little insects
would crawl
and bore holes
in my wall
And we grew
in harmony
for many years
Until I got old
and got clear
cut down To
make way for
for new growth
Left to rot My
spirit gone on
Making hollow
sounds like a
log long on
the ground
A home for
the crawlies
big and small
Warmed by
wild mushrooms
and mosses and
grasses tall
Waiting my time
to become part
of the all.
