The lone tree carries
the stories of
storms and hurricanes
and of survival.
It watches
many life stories
unfold on holidays
and take interesting turns.
It speaks to them
with years of wisdom
but remains unheard.
Communication gaps!
It pines for a holiday
for stillness
and looking within.
Will that be Death?
