Hurt

Do boughs feel pain when vicious winds rip gnarly bark? Does tiny cry pierce clear sky when hawk talons a lark? What visions do the dying see as they ready to depart? Is it possible to heal muscle, after destruction of the heart? How can a person, once loved almighty, destroy a friend? I knew it true, as her words made my tattered soul rend. Floods of sorrowed anguish swamped disoriented world. Emotions floated free---like dust from a flag unfurled.
