another one

bites the dust.

i look to my right, and see another tree crashing to the ground. from the outside, it looked sturdy. thick, lush, full of leaves. who knew that inside, it was rotting, dry and hollow?

maybe inevitably, leaves turn brown, branches snap, and luscious trees are reduced to mushroom food.

but maybe, just maybe, instead of fading into darkness, new green sprouts appear, stronger branches replaces older ones, and trees become sturdier as time goes on.

here's hoping.
