Skeleton Tree
now the flesh has gone
the bones shiver in the wind
weakening the limbs
a mighty wind blows
uprooting this naked tree
limbs are torn apart
then sadly, it dies
and thus lays itself to rest
tears fall from the sky
to mourn it's passing
and nourish the seeds thereof
life comes full circle
