859. good bye dear tall dead tree


straight as an arrow
you stood tall in life and death
finally… fallen 🦊❤️

For years while hiking I have stopped and paid admiration to a very tall, branchless, amazingly straight and very dead tree.  I wrote a haiku about it a while ago, I painted a large picture of it. I watched it slowly become more decayed and thought, “someday you will fall.” It fell. I got choked up. How odd.  🦊❤️ (Click link below to see earlier post on my tree)
