Here I am in Greenwich park once again
to visit my aged and majestic friend
it's limbs reaching to the heavens
waiting to relinquish it's burden

My life to this great Oak is transitory
in less then 50 years my visits will become ephemeral
and as I, redundant of body then,
will be able the reach it's Acorn crown

To blend in it's greenery
merging with it's nature
to again become one with it
and watch the maelstrom of life's struggles
