Our Tree

       Our Tree

We are brewed in soil

Born of roots

Drenched in the rain

Of bloody waters

Quenching thirsty ground

A trunk buried in

Bark emerges

Branches reach

Telling our story

Tender leaves

Know our name

The tree connects us

Invisibly bound

Through years

Of propagation

Our tree blossoms

Bearing fruit

Or dropping in rot

Discord inevitable

Breaking branches

The tree will always

Be of what it’s

Branches make

Our tree is drenched

In bloody waters
