Dying Tree

written before 2007, but published in 2007. Analogies between a tree and a person, very similar. Sometimes dying people scream for help and no one is listening. But interestingly enough, the offsprings are just as affected, just as a tree's fruit is a reflection of the health of the tree.

What does a dying tree look like?

The leaves are wilted

The branch may be tilted

Just how a tired person looks

When they are tired

Bending, tilting

Looking like a weight

Needs to be lifted

 

The skin may be dried

The tree's texture may be arid

The tree will stop growing

Human hair stops growing.

Can a wilted tree's fate be revversed?

Will a tired person's cries be heard?

Perhaps a tired person is dying too

Dying tree's offsprings are dying fruits
