The Oak’s Journey

the beautiful oak standing tall
sunlight pouring down onto it
it’s vines tangled around the stem
it’s branches reaching out and away

the roots clawing themselves into the ground
Keeping the oak standing tall
it’s leaves as green as the color itself

Old oak, standing tall
with red and orange leaves falling, and drifting away
From the crisp autumn winds

Old oak. Standing at its tallest
Being at its oldest
With no leaves left
WIth no life left
