Tree Falls In the Forest

Standing on the trail
sharing words before his departure
John was his name
I asked if he had
any fuel to spare
then in a instant it came

Crashing downward, SKY Falling
He couldn’t hang on
as hard as hard as he tried
getting closer to the sun
day by day, sunshine
and yes the sun was shining that morning
green tipped outstretched branches
as you tumbled over
mighty was  your crash
and rest assured, you were seen heard and felt
by two trail hardened men
John, jumped
I  stood in            awe,
as you broke I n two
crashing to your end
down upon these mossy rocks
I graciously accept your gift
your offering
to fuel my fire
one more
day, so close, so close
now you are there

Clever use of spacing to share your experience. Thanks for answering that age old question about whether or not anyone hears a tree fall. :~)

Very intriguing poem, I agree with the previous comments.
I also like the difference of rhythm/content between the first stanza
and the rest of your poem.

charlie saw what i did in the "I n two"; the breaking of more than a tree. ..and the space before the awe. . .. ., so empty and full both; just awe as it should be. ..
and John [the name conjures saints]
and i think this tree fueled more than fire.
[hope it didnt hurt those poor rocks]

I love that-- "breaking I n two"-- very clever line. Just a good thing you weren't above the timber line. --Charlie

Powerfully imaged and felt - the capriciousness of nature, the one minute you're fine, next, your not in these lines! Well done. Only takes a second -

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
