So strong and lush
You once were
Standing tall amongst them all
Living, feeding, breathing
Till your full bloom
So short lived it seems now
That you meet your doom
The texture you now show
Once fresh and smooth
Now dry and lined
Once a solid color now a
dieing shade of many
So beautiful is your decay
