The Tree of Wonders, the Wondering Tree

By Henry Coldnight

A work inspired by Observant--the Story of a Dried Lotus Fruit

Titania has a future spaceship called the Oak Tree.
The Oak Tree is not just Titania's any future spaceship--
That spaceship is the future for all living beings on Earth;
All living beings' future is relying on the Mothership Oak Tree.
Only Titania's Oak Tree can save Earth when the day comes--
There will come a day in future, inside the Oak Tree,
the Fairy Queen will become the Mother of all living beings.

Why is the Oak Tree so great? For the love of Fairyland!
Every fairy in the universe knows, that tree has great magics;
Titania and her fairies uses the magics of the Great Old Tree
to travel to and from Earth, to help all living things.
And one of the greatest magics of the unbreakable Oak Tree
 is a magic even the most knowledgeable person on Earth
doesn't know how to use, it is called the Quantum Physics.

Titania has a future spaceship called the Oak Tree.
The Oak Tree is not just Titania's any future spaceship--
That spaceship is the future for all living beings on Earth;
All living beings' future is relying on the Mothership Oak Tree.
Only Titania's Oak Tree can save Earth when the day comes--
There will come a day in future, with the Oak Tree,
the magics of the fairies will be the magics of mankind;
the path to the future might be the path to the End.

What price must we pay? thought Titania.
Is it not enough that we have given up everything,
in order to save these fatal creatures?
It is because unlike the fairies, they are not perfect,
yet they become more beautiful everyday;
almost perfect, but not quite--the closer they get,
the harder they fall; the more beautiful,
the more deadly.

Which path will they take? wonders Titania.
Looking at a dried lotus fruit in front of her, thinking,
then she found the answer; what she understood now
is what they'll understand one day:
All living things die, some day,
to save the humans was never about
the so-they-may-live-on-forever--
it is so that the half opened lotus,
may have a chance to blossom;
and those moments of perfection
is the final secret of the universe.

The Oak Tree wonders......
