An Old Tree

An old, dead tree
the old woman of the earth,
bent over and dangling.
The wind blows
she lifts herself to feel it.
The little ones come
playing by her feet.
The air changes,
Her hair whitens
revealing a hidden beauty.

I wrote this as a homework assignment. It is inspired by the tree in my front yard.
