Oh mighty Oak

I watched you choke

From the poison

That fell from the sky

You knew it was coming

I heard the leaves cry

You lost your spark

I watched the peeling of the bark

Your limbs turned to powder

Your soul scattered in the soil

We did nothing to save you

We should have shouted louder

This was a sad read. I can't help but get emotional when I read about the destruction off such a fine ancient tree.
