Within this tree another tree inhabits the same body; within this stone another stone rests, its many shades of grey the same, its identical surface and weight. And within my body, another body, whose history, waiting, sings; there is no other body, it sings, there is no other world.

Yes it's tru, it's wonderful, but poor tree! :(
Hi Priya, Ojni, Tragic and beautiful. Always sad to loose a tree. It has been a stump for a long time, though. Notice that all of the bark is missing.
Trees are works of art. Here's a link to some tree poetry:

WITHIN THIS TREE
by Jane Hirshfield
Within this tree
another tree
inhabits the same body;
within this stone
another stone rests,
its many shades of grey
the same,
its identical
surface and weight.
And within my body,
another body,
whose history, waiting,
sings; there is no other body,
it sings,
there is no other world.
Just in time for Halloween -it's kind of spooky!
