Above the Canopy

the mighty oak falls
  and all the forest weeps, their
  mournful echoes float
  above the canopy, as
  the giant lies in repose

It is sad to see a giant oak fall after years of faithful service of shade, nuts(for animals) and leaves to decay to enrich the forest floor..Thanks for stopping by..Sara
