I felt you as you hit the ground
grass and concrete breaking your fall
no longer proud and upstanding
Not even a mound

Your arms waved frantically with the wind
your fingertips trembling with each wedge
I felt the pain rip through you
Oh if only time could rescind

You lay helplessly uprooted like a dream
the earth moved for that split second
goodbye my beautiful friend and shade
farewell Eucalyptus Tree...


(In memory of a 50yr old tree my neighbours chopped down yesterday...so sad)

beautiful....I could see tree as it fell...

Thankyou...

you're welcome

Well spoken, Lady

Nicely painted.

A very nice piece, although it is sad to see any tree cut down.
