A variegated verdure of tendril-like veins
vesuviate their stillatitious sudor.
Sweat sweeps down sinew strengthened trunks
with each strident stride; with each replanting of the roots,
engraving an ephemeral power
against the pot-holed pavement.
Natures' tempest, with its own truculent power, contends each giant step—
torrid torrents transfluent to the fluent pounding.
Yet each droplet,
each beat,
each step
fades...
until the spirited spurt of a storm with home in its sight
reaches the final
