It has been a long time since I posted anything. Not only here. Silence of sudden onset. Well. I haven't been all that bad lately. At the same time it wouldn't be quite honest to say that I have been absolutely all right. Last time I was here, I was a bit worried about my lack of belief if anything. Lost faith long ago. That is another thing you can only lose once. I don't know. Maybe a dose of faith in anything would help.
The tree was fine when I saw it last time. I don't quite recollect how long ago that was. I do recollect the tree was fine. Now I see it again. All shrivelled up, The glorious leaves gone, So too the pride. It looks old, Maybe feels old, wasted, useless What happened to you, old friend? What bolt of destiny struck you down. I doubt you will ever hold that head up again Against the sky, against the wind, against time. But don't you worry. We are with you. Shrunk, shrivelled, shaken down No matter. We are with you.
