Trees: How the Mighty Have Fallen

All through the sapling days

Of dark and dappling haze

You stretched for skies

Of perfect blue

 

Up to refracted rays

All through protracted days

You reached for highs

And so you grew

 

Until you broke the night

At last unyoked the light

Like living prose

You stood so tall

 

Until the gale’s grey might

Ripped through your sail’s green height

And as you rose

So did you fall
