of legendary origin
encroached upon
throughout the centuries
by human fear
seeking protection
near some venerable shape
you stand
aloof
silently balancing
symmetrical circles
of roots and crown
patiently oblivious of parks
and buildings made by those
who vainly walk in awe
to grasp the mystery
in touch, in picture, meditation
of otherness unmoved
