One Thousand Chrysathrumum Petals

by ForgottenKaze

A collection of short poems I've written for the InuYasha cast. Be warned, some a quite short, make little sense, and have been translated from their original French. And no, there aren't a thousand of them. T for space

5. Goshinboku: Tree of Ages

Here's a Goshinboku tribute, as a break from death poems. I got the idea from a fic I read a long time ago.

---

I am the Goshinboku

The God-tree

The Tree of Ages

The Sacred Tree

I transcend time

I see into the future

The past

The present

And watch over

Those that come

To rest at my base

I have seen wars

The scars I bare are proof

I have seen peace

My flowers bloom as evidence

I see the past…

I see the present…

I see the future…

I am the Goshinboku
