Magnificent Acacia

How hauntingly beautiful you are! 
Dr Abe V Rotor

  Epiphytes growing on acacia limbs, 

How hauntingly beautiful you are! 
by day swaying, by night whispering; 
 home of the seen and the unseen
the real, mysterious, ad infinitum

Drynaria fern growing atop an acacia. 

Dual is your role - guardian and friend

to the regal Drynaria fern,  

and she too, is a guardian and friend, 

to other creatures, ad infinitum.

You are the biggest living Christmas tree 

link of stars and fireflies, nature and man, 

grownups and children, from pole to pole,

season after season, ad infinitum.
