The Old Big Tree At The Shrine

The tree, a type of pine,
I assume, perhaps it's a
Spruce?  Is given divine
Status by the priests and
Others in the old shrine
It overlooks, go-shin-boku,
Or god-tree, it has grown
For almost 500 years,
Towering, massive, alone...
Susurrus in the branches,
Where holy winds have blown,
Are the sounds of the peace
Seeds, the god-tree has sown.
