When a Tree Falls

Struck down, destroyed the tree hit the ground thunder on pavement as the pavement glows red Found out ferocious is the growl in the forest, festering wound without antiseptic Held back with a palm on the chest, running the treadmill until you are released to put a fist-sized hole into the chest wall Her heart is at rest yours is beating outside your breast knuckle bones blue buried in the ashes the cranial crash healing not quite achieved, in the works when a tree falls in the forest does anyone see what truly happened Nestled in the bushy beard prayers, hope, forgiveness though we never forget and we want for heaven where a bluebird resounds in a tall and sturdy oak
