What slender strength once attainted to reach forth, but now its feathers of life have collected like a funeral pyre cremating their existence to embers floating in limbo. Her virtue swaying with every expiration, cartilage falters dismembered from her form. Hollow and barren. One moment of existence still hangs on she is not yet gone. That faithful breath falls on this day, a lonely woeful tear leaves the nest. This inanimate effigy now a husk of memories rings once worn now stained. She died standing up... she died alone...

She Died Standing Tall
What slender strength once attainted to reach forth, but now its feathers of life have collected like a funeral pyre cremating their existence to embers floating in limbo. Her virtue swaying with every expiration, cartilage falters dismembered from her form. Hollow and barren. One moment of existence still hangs on she is not yet gone. That faithful breath falls on this day, a lonely woeful tear leaves the nest. This inanimate effigy now a husk of memories rings once worn now stained. She died standing up... she died alone...
A trees final moments....
