When an old man died in the geriatric ward of a nursing home in an Australian country town, it was believed that he had nothing left of any value.

Later, when the nurses were going through his meagre possessions, they found this poem. Its quality and content so impressed the staff that copies…

I am Jack’s rotting flesh.

I am Jack’s rotting flesh.

I am a Pantheon without pillars

joshuawords:

Support

None

I’m the crashing sky

Where is my atlas?

I am tumbling tree

Where are my roots?

I am the falling rain

Where is my river?

I am the crumbling coliseum

Where is my arch?

Where is my ladder?

My step?

My St. Peter’s rock?

My railing?

My hold?

My footing?

I’m slipping

So fast

And I’m falling

Down

Where are you?

I thought you would catch me.

An oak tree and a rosebush grew,
Young and green together,
Talking the talk of growing things-
Wind and water and weather.
And while the rosebush sweetly bloomed
The oak tree grew so high
That now it spoke of newer things-
Eagles, mountain peaks and sky.
“I guess you think you’re pretty great,”
The rose was heard to cry,
Screaming as loud as it possibly could
To the treetop in the sky.
“And now you have no time for flower talk,
Now that you’ve grown so tall.”
“It’s not so much that I’ve grown,” said the tree,
“It’s just that you’ve stayed so small.
