its vastness cannot be fathomed
cosmic winds rustle the leaves
a thousand worlds die, the force rips time

roots piercing all reality
entwined with worlds and minds
drawing life from our mere existence
consumer of ethereal energies

lives and deaths engraved in its bark
cryptic visions briefly glimpsed in dreams
like patches of sky through the branches
world tree growing without end

ancient beyond our concept of time
twisted limbs branching into a trillion paths
we live and feed, die like insects
trapped in its sap

planets and galaxies like dust in its eye
a blink and we're gone endless cycle of life
eternal the endless cannot be carved

we're flowing in patterns of its wood grain
the spirals and whirls
it cannot be changed [comments] => 2 [counter] => 190 [topic] => 43 [informant] => moforious [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 8 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Amazing and wonderfully poetic. I love your expression and mostly your vision in this work. "Ancient beyond our concept of time". Indeed life does not know or understand our simplification called time. The tree of life is abundant with fruits and scars of it's existence and it is indeed a thing to behold. A gifted write.

Bravo!

The world-tree concept proliferates in a lot of cultures, but I do love the viking lore best. You do the myth justice - now chuck in a mighty big serpent and a keg of mead!
