The skinny little tree

It stood alone

Pathetically outlined

Against the azure blue sky

A pencil on a pure sheet of paper


It stood alone

Against the invading insects


It stood alone

Fighting malignant rot


It stood alone

After losing all its leaves


It stood still

As nature waged war around it

And when the glorious warmth of the brilliant sun

And the nourishing kisses of infinite droplets of rain

Comforted the skinny little tree

To stand, still.
