Shrouded by secrecy
the old tree stands
appearing dead in the landscape
a burden to the land
Down below
lies an alien world
a communication network
filled with fiber swirls
Recycled below the surface
information is spread
the roots relate a story
they are not dead
Up above the tree appears
as a work of art
rest and food for wildlife
as it falls apart
Joining the soil
aiding in the renewal of life
a new sapling appears
near the old tree site
Growing tall
in the sun and wind
the old tree’s spirit is reborn
life never ends
