Heartbroken To see hundreds of years Uprooted and thrown To the ground Broken Destroyed A wicked wind So violent It took out the young Newly rooted The ancient The massive Weak from drought Majestic and still Laying on their sides Looking imposing Root history exposed For all to see For me An honor To witness Laying there Respecting more now Than when you were born You did make a name Appreciating now You weren't only a tree

Only a tree
Heartbroken To see hundreds of years Uprooted and thrown To the ground Broken Destroyed A wicked wind So violent It took out the young Newly rooted The ancient The massive Weak from drought Majestic and still Laying on their sides Looking imposing Root history exposed For all to see For me An honor To witness Laying there Respecting more now Than when you were born You did make a name Appreciating now You weren't only a tree
96 MPH winds took out an incredible amount of trees this past week. I've never looked at these trees like I did this week. Not to mention the power of the wind. Massive trees uprooted and knocked down. It was death. And it was heartbreaking.
