The tree was split By the power of an unknown spear. That night, the orange moon flared; The blinking eyes of night Shadowed the forest, Following him. What authority clapped the thunderous air With flailing branches, Demanding service, obedience, fear. The simplicities of home and fire Offered up assurance and warmth. He returned to think on it; To resolve questions with more questions Before sanctifying the place of wrath.

The Pine Tree
The tree was split By the power of an unknown spear. That night, the orange moon flared; The blinking eyes of night Shadowed the forest, Following him. What authority clapped the thunderous air With flailing branches, Demanding service, obedience, fear. The simplicities of home and fire Offered up assurance and warmth. He returned to think on it; To resolve questions with more questions Before sanctifying the place of wrath.
