The Oak Poem by Robert Gilchrist
The Oak
From the mighty oak
Structures of antiquity are wrought
Time stands still
Layers of substance
Deposited like slow moving molasses
Establish the foundations until
The craftsman applies his chisel
And axe
To expose the heartwood
And tell his story
In sap and sawdust.
The craftsman applies his chisel And axe To expose the heartwood.....very fine poem....... structures that stand wind and weather are created by artists of all time......... thank you dear poet. tony
A wonderful poem, Robert. I enjoy working with wood and appreciate its versatility

It is an amazing poem that has been written beautifully but what is better is that it isn't just written for the sake of writing it feels like it has a true meaning to you and can be related to by many
