THE TREE.....
		
Once was so full of life, changing
along with the seasons, each leaf
a relashionship discovered
the ground has been dry awhile
the roots are not in the best condition
they have been hacked at 
over time
the few left are buried deep, hidden
in the dark earth
searching,
		Hunting for water
it's close,
		a few more feet........
		
the last of the yellowing leaves fall
all that remains is a skeleton 
of a former self
	hope
			gone
