#30 Wise Oak


Johnson City TN, Sullivan County (planted July 11, 2004)

Inside her little cabin, wind blew through cracks
And the open windows... and the door which it lacks.
"I'll go out," she said and stooped low.
Then she crossed the grass to play tic-tac-toe.

"I can't play alone!" She began to cry.
Until a fairy appeared and tapped on her side
Saying, "Would you like to go explore the world?"
And this excited the little girl.

"Yes! Oh, Yes!" she clapped and squealed.
The fairy rolled out a map and they kneeled
The girl squinted, "But, will I have to climb
This big hill? It will take a long time!"

The fairy laughed, "Not if you sprout WINGs my DEER"
Else you must Huff n' Puff, I fear.
That is first," she continued and spoke,
"Then you take the first left known as WISE OAK."

"Wise Oak?" asked the girl, "Tell me more."
And the fairy replied, "He is Zeus, Thor,
Tree of Life, Jupiter, Jumala: The King
Of Trees, say some. Some say of all things."

"Oh, my!" said the girl. "Are you sure I can?"
"Yes," said the fairy, "I will rest in your hand."
So together they walked up a steep paved road
Taking the first left as the fairy had shown.

"This road is his namesake, follow it right
Until you reach a bench, sit tight.
Your Wise Oak is rooted very close to there.
But His branches do not stretch into the air.

Look at the fallen log to your left and behind.
A small tree shoots up by its side.
On the far side of the log, near the tree
Under a stick, leaves, and debris

The Wild Oak sits in snow and rain
Waiting for little girls to tell their names."
And off flies the fairy, as comes into view
This very spot, just described to you.

And the little girl finds the box, and stoops,
"My name is Blue Bell, will you skip to my loop?"

[To be continued... stay tuned as Blue Bell will skip off and hide herself!]
