The Old Oak

When the wind howls the great oaks creek under tiny splatters of moonlight. 

The spirits of old dance among crooked branches. 

Once the song of hooves from distant carriage pass, the hunting owl vices his solemn catch. 

All that is left is the cold unforgiving shadows of the moor.

I need to get there again. 

The old oak has listened to the birds and wind, stood through time, armorial, steady in destruction calm and change.
