First of Wisdom, Tree of Life

First of Wisdom, Tree of Life

The first of wisdoms
Held wooded in a
Veil of pulp and skin.
Seeking purchase.

Nature's care sustains
Sapling limbs and roots
To spring forth
In exuberance.

Brave heart, a giants,
Kept in scion's trust
Beats life through
Hopeful veins.

Misfortune's battering,
Mortality's claim
Is but a forge to
Temper youth.

Enriched by Providence
The tree in realisation,
First in blooms then
Bringing fruit.

At the core in trust
Holds all ancestoral
Wisdom and possibility
Of generations new.
