The sky above him layered in
Like waves upon the shoal
And all the mountains knew his name
And he their waving roll
The earth beneath his treading feet
Turned stones like mortal coils
And all the footprints knew his path
And depth above the soil
His shoulders stood above the trees
A crown of stars his ears
And all the shadows couldn't bear to see
Nor stand beneath him in fear
Beyond no borderlings he'd step
Unless his heart was called
And with him birds would often sing
And perch on him their wall
As the waterlilies craved his touch
So to mortality, he was bound
And then off the earth one day he walked
Never again to be found
But still the memories of mid-earth
Hold fast in root and stem
For once a guardian walked this way
As a tree with a beard of men
Like it if you like. And love it if you know to who I am referring.
