Withering Trees
Withering tree,
Your light has dulled,
Your leaves have fallen,
And your trunk is twisted with knots.
Twisted tree,
Your limbs are gnarled,
Your shadow resembles a cobweb,
And your roots stick up like bones from the ground.
Ancient tree,
Your trunk is hollow from past residents,
The grass at your feet is no longer silk,
And your face has turned into a mask.
Dying tree,
My dear old grandmother tree,
My sweet haven from memories tree,
Remember me.
