High on a ridge
over looking the world
above a deep canyon
two sprouts
reached for the sun

twin trunks
dug deeply
both stretching
and reaching
towards the heavens

In the strong winds
their limbs
brush each other
sending leaves
a sail

years unfold
one tree leans away
from the steep
cliffs
drop off

the others
roots gripped tight
and leaned out
over the canyon

storms and rains
and beating sun
found a day
when there was
one

the other
lay fallen
deep in the canyon

one tall tree
now
leans out
over a cliff

Thought provoking.

This made me think in terms of two inseparable people who've grown together and the eventual tragic loss of one of them, leaving the other to stand alone. Powerful imagery!
