Trees Fallen Too Soon


What happens to the trees that are never allowed to grow?

The ones who are stifled,
before they even really grasp their roots.

What happens to these saplings who can never fully stretch?

Who try as hard as they might 
yet are hindered by unforeseen obstacles
awakening in the dead of night.

As hard as they try to 
Press

Onward.

Upward.

What happens when they are ripped from their home,
Left to 
Shrivel 
and 
Die?


How must they feel as stumps
Forever seeing the sky,
Yet unable to touch it.

Do they Remember the hope they once felt
when they believed they could one day
grip the stars?

Do they Remember the warm summer breeze
causing their leaves to dance?

Do they Remember the cold winter months,
naked and shivering?

Do They Remember the 
Hope Of Spring?

What happens to the trees that are never allowed to grow?

Do they recall the times of 
Good 
and 
Bad?

Or do they simply cease to be at all?
