Xanthorrhoea or Grass Tree (Black Boy)

Its apparent

that this most unusual tree

survives because

its willing to add sacrifice

It knew really it was

To create from its lower roots

Compost so to say

its rotted down creation

Is its medium Today

It can access the nutrients

It adapts well and it can

In arid times be

able to actually just plan

Its all about survival

And this soul knows the bush

In time it gros a trunk infact

and starts its upward push

I am truly fascinated

With the wild plants of WA

And this grass tree so evident

Proves there is a way.
