Remember me standing tall, hands outstretched, head lifted
Far from where I started, here is where I've drifted
Remember me, balanced, rooted in solid foundation
Passive now, my grey body, haven of crustaceans
Remember me with energy connecting earth and sky
I rock against a muddy shore, submitting to the ocean tides
Remember how my silhouette swayed with the gentle breeze
See my twisted limbs, rigid, infecund against the windy seas
Remember my canopy, you took shelter in the shade
Bare and hollow on the shore, beginning to decay.
Remember strength, endurance, the essence of the arbour.
The lapping of the soft black waves, the quiet of the harbour.
