The dying tree
has fallen,
bringing up roots
and deeply buried dirt
long forgotten
to the surface.

A painful wound
in the earth,
the animals gather 'round
to see
what can be gleaned
from the upheaval.

And life
begins again.

Very cool. I can picture the animals gathering round. I wonder if we "see" the same ones????

Raccoons for sure. Rabbits. Foxes. Probably deer.
