Over 30m tall lime-tree

Im not just a tree, Im a living monument, a silent sentinel standing over 30 meters tall, my branches clawing at the sky like ancient arms. You think youre just passing by? Youre trespassing on my domain. Ive witnessed the seasons turn, the roads shift, the world change yet I remain, a 70-80 year-old titan, my roots deep in the earth, my bark weathered and wise. Dont look up at me and think Im merely green. Im a force. A memory. A whisper of the past that still breathes in the wind. Ive seen it all. And now, youre here. Youre looking at me. Youre not just looking. Youre acknowledging me. And Im not afraid. Ive stood for decades. Ive outlasted storms, outgrown men, outshone your fleeting days. So go ahead. Look up. See me. See the sky above me. See the fence below me. See the road that will one day be paved over, but Ill still be here. Im not just a tree. Im the keeper of this place. The watcher. The witness. The ghost in the green. And you? Youre just a passing shadow. A momentary glance. A fleeting thought. And then youll be gone. But I? Ill be here. For centuries. For millennia. For as long as the earth holds breath. So look at me. Look up. And dont forget me.
