    Tree

     I saw a tree fall
    It was the saddest thing
    To see the end of its glorious life
    That moments before was living
    It laid there as if embarresed and sad
    Thinking about the life it had
    Starting as a sappeling, growing till it reached the sky
    Now it is all over, on the ground it now humbly lies
    As it is cut and split into fire wood
    I know that tree would stand up and keep growing, if only it could
     
    D.B. Johnson

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
