Weathered

You know how a tree,
Tall and strong,
Withstands the worst,
Yet doesn't fall.

But then one day,
With battles fought,
It looses a limb,
Still tall and strong.

What happens when time,
Grows to great,
More limbs lost,
Slowly fading away.

No more branches,
To banish the pain,
Life trickles,
Away from each vein.

What happens to a tree,
Too weathered to withstand,
When a sparrow lands,
And it falls to the ground?

It doesnt stand and the sparrow flies away.
I just saw your name and liked it, so I read your stuff.  And liked it too.

GIS

a trickle of music from a well
let it spill and roar like hell!
