Concordia

Tree Swing

 

What tree is there that does not

have a wind of thought?

 

The felt ease with a gentle breeze?

 

Or being---

 

Just happy with some under rot?

 

Bearing weight with only it's roots

 

To determine own fate.

 

Never mind own desire.

 

I must grow---

 

Never mind what's dire.

 

I must grow---

 

Never mind if its late.

 

Than ever to retire...

 

A strong limb must give the child one last swing.

'A Special Place'

 

Concordia (Latin for Harmony) must be one of the oldest canyon oak trees in San Diego County. She has what amounts to three trunks that span out over forty feet in length. From the nearby road one naturally thinks that there are several oak trees there. All it takes is going up the path and then entering to the right to see her in all her majestic being. She has been ever so beautiful throughout my four seasons of life.
