The Apple Box

The Apple Box tree

tall and heartful

Stands among others

watching man take over. 

House and warmth, for man.

Shelter, food, a resting place, for animals.                   

Apple Box shares wisdom,  

how time has passed,  

stories of renewal, regeneration

seedlings                         

Leaves, food to some.  

Branches, home to many.                         

Together, it's a home, a heart,

but apart, in pieces, it is nothing.                   

Kangaroos, koalas, kookaburras,

they all chant in harmony,

the harmony of life 

Food to some. 

Home to many.
