No Title
Mysterious forest,
looking so safe and comforting,
showing its flourishing green canopy
and outer saplings.
Within,
gnarled, decaying trees
litter the ground.
In the midst
of these dying woods
stands a tree older than age
with dead, mangled branches
protruding
from every knot hole.
Still
in the upper most layer
green life springs forth
like the life support
of a dying man.
