a positive dilemma;

A positive dilemma: a tree in the middle of the

Ocean.

Land meeting water.

Hand meeting sky.

It stretches up as waves lap around it -

Branches taller than sea.

Its roots weave down.

Deep.

Spinning through a world of blue

And grey.

Gnarling past rocks and twisting past

Breathing

Like a tree.

But it stops as it reaches sand

And claws at it as it discovers another

Dimension of life

Unknown.

It is this positive dilemma - a tree in the middle of the

Ocean – that puzzled a millennium.

Standing as the sky turned red and the land

Consumed.

Reaching up in to the atmosphere as the

Light obliterates everything in its wake.

Bark above blue;

Until the ocean dries up and the

Stars b u r n  o u t.
