Womb of the Earth Birth

From the darkness there comes light

Searching for a tree

Familiar yet overlooked

Old friends on the path

Beech shrouded in mist

Scattered flowers yellow pink

To the tree that lives

Unfamiliar path

Orange markers lead the way

Gateway to the tree

A farewell loving embrace

Woodpecker tapping
