I am the
Tallest pine tree
In a large
Beautiful
Forest
The tallest tree
A giant among
Men I guard
The smaller trees
In my protective
Shade from the
Suns harsh heat
I stand proudly
Watching the sun
Streaked with blue
Orange
Pink and yellow
As the sun
Began to rest
its tired eyes
and the moon rose
to its feet
ready to guard
the dreams of
the people under
it's pale light.
I stand among
The blinking twinkling
Stars that littered
The indigo night
Sky suddenly the
Grass is set
Ablaze in a
Fiery flaming fury
The flames climb
Up my bark
Smoke rolls into
The air
Vengeful hateful clouds
Of black and gray
My brethren are only scared
Bits and pieces of their
Bark like flesh turned
To cinder
But I am obliterated
Struck to the ground
Began for mercy
I am no longer the tallest tree
