There grows one in the Human Brain.]

Outside of the academy
and the market and the tall village walls
grew an old oak tree
with golden leaves
that never judged at all.
-
When muted tears were shed
secrets of hate and love whispered,
when broken hearts bled or
whiskered cheeks
didn't smile;
It did not judge, only
cradled within it's branches
and great roots the tired
forms of broken children
of old men and women.

Summer
-
The fox boy hugged
its wide and twisted form
pretending to be loved
within arms soft and warm-
-
Spring
-
Pink hair graced
the mild and melting grass
as it circled round the base
and laughed to pass the time-
-
Winter
-
He sat at the top
and watched them walk below
and bit his lip to stop
the perfect beauty of
the snow.
-
They learned and grew
and fell and flew
and slowly came apart,
multiplied in size and strength
and hardened in the heart-
-
Autumn
-
And through it all
[the storm and rain]
through bitter lonely days
its roots and leaves and
gleaming bark
always stayed the same.
