The Tree of Tears

A single weathered tree old, battered and forlorn alone in an empty field ever aging, never dying tears of ages past keeping its roots ever nourished. The tears of many lives lost shed in the final moments of uncounted deaths over ages past all too painful and sudden tears shed not of weakness but of gut wrenching sadness by the loss of many souls dispatched at the hand of death and his minions. These cries, though seemingly silent to be heard forever, only by those counted among a unique few.
