"Be Still And Know That I Am God" by redbug

Burls

How I long to be like you, White Oak

Standing tall and regal

You fulfill your niche as an edifice of omniscience

Wearing proud your burl as if it were a purple heart

But perhaps it is a purple heart,

A Timberland Medal of Honor generated from bacteria and plague

The burl you boast is a bulbous scar

Informing your onlookers “I survived”

I too am still standing, White Oak

I’ve weathered my failures,

Teach me the trade of your bravery, muse of Mother Nature

Show me how to wear my battle wounds like a diamond ring

When they come to slice me open

The exploitation of my innards will taste nothing but familiar.
