The Dryad
Evening drawing close
half light playing tricks
a ring of oaks, magic oaks
strong limbs to earth
holding up a stormy sky,
Beams of sunshine
where the copse is thin
lighting up the bark
playing tricks with me,
Who was she
dressed all in gossamer?
Pictures in a poetry book.?
From different worlds;
we could not talk,
although each of earth.
Mine, dreams and myths.
She? More than dreaming.

I wonder what happens to them when the trees are cut and the dreaming stops.:) Kexby.

When the trees are cut the Dryads fade away until the limbs grow again thank you for calling.

Is that what happens? I somehow thought they would wander away to far away land where oaks still grow in abundance,:) fanciful thoughts. Kexby.

Well Ahavati roots can last hundreds of years; from that stand point trees are eternal.One must not try to shake hands with the Dryad (and there is only one) should one try the Dryad will fade away. leaving us to dream,.perhaps the better of the alternatives.
Living trees keep the felled trees alive through their roots. It's fascinating when you research it. We're blessed if a Dryad reveals themselves to us. Or maybe we have the eyes to see. I don't know about there only being one. Not unless it travels. I've seen one in Cherokee, Portland, and other places.

Yes trees share root systems . . .the English Elm especially,which does not often produce seed relying in vegetative reproduction by means of the root net work,this made the control of the Elm disease out break in the 1960 , -70,or so., difficult to curtail . .there are few remaining.
