Of Little Oaks
(On the occasion of Arran and Ryoko's wedding)
Winter's nursery
Deep and still, in darkling night
Urgent acorns strive
Where deeper roots drive
Up toward spring's shaded light
Tender shoots burst free
Born of energy
From the sun of summer's might
Tall to be alive
Saplings grow to thrive
Beyond the spreading leaf-height
Of their parent-tree
