silvercobwebs: Silas, plant; here
He plants a tree and watches it grow, watches it become a giant, and then he watches it die.
He plants flowers every spring. Before he knows it, spring is around the corner again.
He plants those bulbous ones, flowers and vegetables, and they appear to die but every season they return.
Silas is never tired of it, never tires of nature. He plants another tree, and another. They are tall, they are strong. They grow for many years, longer than any other living creature, except him. Silas likes them, his silent companions. When they die, he chops them down and sets them on fire, to keep himself warm during long, hard winters. As the centuries go by, the forest becomes larger around him; leaves change colour every season, and the woods spread far and wide.
