F A L L E N

Strong. There I go! 

I am powerful. What I think, I say! What I say, is Authority. 

Unquestioned!

But after a time there were no more questions. 

 Life to a standstill.

It was not quite a peaceful one. 

Alive with dread. 

A cacophony of formless noises.

Till the last dry leaf

F A L L E N 

on earth made a frail sound 

my tough head like a nutshell cracked open

Inside the nut with uncertainty its essential scent reveled. 

A squirrel popped out from nothing. 

Grabbed me 

happily 

hopped away.

I liked the metaphor used here and the message that is to be conveyed is quite clear and strong.... A very good one...Vasco.
