Question:Sitting.Watching.Waiting.Thinking.Merely existing.
Time passes by his now jaded view, that of an old oak.
His roots sink deeper than our minds can ever outstretch into space.
He's been down the road aplenty (sp?),memorizing every crevice of every pebble.
The rings of his trunk cannot be counted.
As time passes by his now jaded view, he watches.
As new scenes unfold, he waits.
As events take place, he thinks.
As time passes, he merely exists.
As the clock tics, he sits.

Yes it is very good. I love it.. It all depends on the words you use and what you really want the person reading it to understand.. And you made it a great poem...
Keep on writing..

Is it about the oak tree or the man?
kinda cool

That was really good! It defines age so well. Great job!

If you had a title like The Ancient Oak I think it would help your reader to understand the beginning of this poem.
If not, then
Time passes by its long jaded view (this old oak)
and change the his, he's etc. to its
I'm not sure how a tree can go down the road
And pebbles don't have crevices, they are smooth and round.
....touching and memorizing every pebble
If you are actually talking about a man, then you cannot have the rings of his trunk.
Apart from that this is a nice, neat little poem. I like it

Well, most pebbles don't have crevices. But it's a good little poem. However, I can't tell if you're talking about the oak or an old man sitting by it. I still like it. lol!
