The Hollow Tree

The old tree
couldn't stand upright anymore.

Age, winds, and storms made it fold,
condemning it to stay close to 
the ground.

Its hollow trunk,
a pitiful sight one may think,
but it  
the history of the forest, unceasingly  
recites.

Oh, 
how many things Man could learn
if only 
he was willing to listen to its story!
