Beaten Up Ugly Tree

A beaten up,

Twisted all specimen

of a tree.

With ugly branches

and a weather-beaten

rotted wood as protection

from the storms in the past

and the ones coming yet again.

Standing between majestic

and beautiful oak trees

around her.

This sad and pathetic one.

Is trying so hard to last the

test of time.

And you can tell

she has survived

so far

by just one glance at

her appearance.

She is not looking for

pity or understanding.

She is just a fact of life.

And her time on earth.

Yet she is still here

Until the day she fully

rots and keel over

and become part of

the forest floor.
