Author's Note: I love trees and find them absolutely fascinating. This fascination inspired this poem. If you come across this fun word, Yggdrasil, it's a Norse myth and it's the tree of life. Basically all seven of the worlds the Norse believed in were branches on this tree.
Guardians of the forest,
Older than mankind,
Proud and strong,
Graceful boughs slanting upward,
Sighing in the wind,
The smell of life rises from it's roots,
Giving to all,
The embodiment of life,
Yggdrasil,
Power,
For it is the forest,
And the forest is life,
Nothing can destroy life,
Not the shaking of the ground,
Or the bolts of light,
Nor winds,
Brushing against it's trunk,
Roots holding back,
Demonkind,
From this good earth.
