This River Red Gum has towered above me all my life.Just to pass her, fills my mind with memories of times and, people gone by, this poem is deicated to her.
Tapped into the bowls of the earth
She stood with awe
Dignity and mirth
Her children spread, from hill, to range,
Sheltering their children,
From the elements of change.
If a bolt of lightening
Hit the grass, and a blazing inferno,
Should come, to pass
She would not die of the radiant heat,
Yet sprout new life
And, spawn more children,
At her roots and, feet.
If you strike, her opaque bark skin
With axe or saw, you??ll do her in.
Or deprive her of children, by cutting them down.
She??ll silently weep golden tears,
That blood stains the ground.
She shelters the wilderness, from the hot suns rays
She has stood for a billion and fifty days.
Her prize is her timber, a blood red wood.
It fetches a dollar, and it looks real good
The price is our water that sustains life on earth.
If you take her from the ground, that??s what she??s worth.
