The trees rustling
Sunlight shafts stab down
Piercing the gentle shadows
Looking down
Gentle wildflowers crown the ground near my feet
Looking up
Falls fire engulfs the treetops
A single drop
Slips slowly down
And gently floats past my reverent hands
I reach out and catch this piece
Candle flame
And as i gaze at its bronze red skin
It crumbles
And fades
I slowly walk away
And an unnoticed tear slips its way
Down my motionless cheek
