"When Just a Simple When"


“When Just a Simple When”

10/23/15

I watched it as it fell silent
not a sound anywhere heard
once upon the tree alive
now upon the ground dead
yet is it really dead to be
when did it die or has it
just a simple when to know
for its life appears eternal
once but a bud within
vibrant in full bloom
then rusting rustling
falling to the ground
yet now to break apart
reentering the ground
beginning all over again
when just a simple when
I watched as it fell silent!
