Little Boy Blue and Wounded Tree - a photo on Flickriver

            
Oh, what is the world to me?
A fallen tree?
A lifelong impossibility?
An animosity?

When spies creep through the forest to observe the fallen.
And we think we’ll never be tall and strong again.
This is a moment dissected and elongated 
for an undeserving audience.
Strange times….stranger instances occurring.

It is too cruel.  
Unjust
A sense of self disintegrating
What is it like to grow old then 
lie down in the belly of the forest 
while everyone looks on gasping
“How sad and yet how beautiful!"
