Forlorn
As a tree stands
Alone for an age
Dies withers rots
Goes to ground
Reseeds and shoots
Springs forth
And begins life again
Endlessly like
Sands of time drift on

This is so very very true too. The cycles of nature never end. The die to renew again and again. Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes of death. Wonderful writing.
Love always

Inside your words at times I sense a deep sadness. Your outer strength appears to show but I just see sdaness at times. Great as always

Good use of alliteration. I felt the tree was a simile for someone who had lost all those they loved. This was a sad and lonely write I felt. Good luck.
Thanks for your comment
All the best
