The Grotto della Sibilla in the Umbrian Mountains which was first mentioned in classical legend. Guerino the Wretch reaches a mountain pass near Norcia in Umbria where he meets with the Devil. The Devil, of course, wants Guerino's soul and tempts him by describing a subterranean kingdom where every delight will be his. Seemingly, in this kingdom, trees flower and fruit at the same time and there is no pain or age or sorrow.
A seed planted
down deep and dark
fed and nourished
by sunlight
and rain
sprout breaks
through
little by little
season to season
year by year
the seedling grew
into a
towering tree
reaching the
sky
Raven
at home
in the
tree top
new seed
pods sprout
dropped
here and there
carried by
Raven
far and wide
to begin
again.

Lovely, Megan and I like the art work, too.
Here's a dumb question--how do you form the lines that way? I guess it's some type of html tag?
Thank you all for your kind words.
To get the poem down the middle, I centred the text using the toolbar at the top.
This truly honours the spirit of life itself, the cycles of nature. Divine Megan. I am enchanted.
