Sister to a Dryad
Rowan
It wasn't a vision,
but a knowing.
It wasn't a sign,
but a sense.

Gorse
I could feel scars
in the air around you,
marring your heart and toughening your
Spirit.

Elder
Uninjured,
a gnarled limb is but dull perfection,
straight and predictable.
I could never love it.

Ash
There is a blackened ring
around your heart,
but we are Phoenixes,
You and I.

Elm
I am too strong to walk away
though there are scars in the air around me now too.
We will both heal
with Spirits such as ours.
