Dead Tree Walking
"I came from Paradise lost, would you walk with me?"
Dr Abe V Rotor

Limb of a dead tree resembling a headless
human figure, España, Manila 2007
I am the ghost that walks
from a forest before;
I am the conscience of man
sleeping in its core.
I am the memory
from the distant past;
lost among the throng,
living in the dust.
I came from Paradise lost,
orphaned by the First Sin;
the hands that cared for me
can't now be seen.
I long for a heaven, too,
a gift of being good and true,
but if heaven is only for man,
I did serve him through.
from a forest before;

But I am a ghost now.
Would man join me for a walk
to tell the world the story
of a once mighty oak? ~
