Forest Sadness
Sacred ancient forest
A stately meandering oak
Betrayed by sassy sycamore
His acorns dried up
Despondent, disappointed, discouraged
Forest felt their rift, betrayal, chasm
Ancestral voices attempted unification
From Xanadu to a savage place
From sensual to seething
From love to hatred
The hurt was deep
Anger wound round the forest
Trees began dying at their roots
A sand and lonely death
