Angel Oak

Feathers of an old oak tree

Hanging firm and gracefully

Rustling in the wind

Branches like wrinkled hands

Reaching for the sky

To send an ethereal glimpse

Of the wonderful feeling

How to be majestic and free

Given light and wings

Colours of cosmic strings

Almost known to all men

Finding the way into wonderful things

Creating moments of happiness

As your roots grow strong

Experience your existence in pure bliss

She® With Love ღ

 

Located in South Carolina, on Johns Island, the 1,500 year-old Angel Oak, shades with its widely spreading canopy an area of 17,200 square feet.

This magnificent tree is thought to be one of the oldest living organisms east of the Mississippi River. With a circumference of 28 feet and branches over 100 feet long, Angel Oak has survived numerous natural disasters, including earthquakes (the Great Charleston Earthquake of 1886), floods and hurricanes (Hurricane Hugo in 1989).
