Nurse Log

Blooming in the face of decay,
the wrinkles of time
accentuated.
Rivers of life, ebb and flow with seasons.

A life of witnessing these fallen logs.
While technically dead, they are not gone.
As fallen trees decay, they offer nutrients, moisture and nurture the next generation of seedlings.
Subtle reminders,
friends and family members nurturing life postmortem.
