The White Oak
Standing tall and proud,
None other it's equal.
Great tree of wisdom light.
In the mists, the White Oak shines bright.
Glimpse of words in whispering boughs
But nothing to be seen above or below
Yet Ages speak clearly, understanding looming
Without a sound, revelation of times before,
and times yet arriving.
Tree of Life, teaching laws of life.
From a golden seed it did sprout,
In the cauldron of earth, before words, it was grown.
And yet along with mens hearts it was born.
Record keeper of the race of men.
Protector of wisdom on the Mighty Isle.
Chief of trees, life giver, shelter and Gate
Druids totem, Guardian to worlds beyond
and Mens fate.
Spirit tree of the heart,
Though none shall see, we shall never be apart.
Prophecies may come and go,
But none shall see what you know.
The Awens's Awen, great tree of renowned
Guide us back to ancient wisdom -
The within, beyond our own.
