It's like a weeping willow

Alive

But unable to move

She sits

And stares

At the ever changing world

Unable to change herself

Children grow up

But she stays the same

Lovers carve their initials into her

She's numb

She doesn't feel a thing

And then suddenly

One dark and rainy day

She's alive

She becomes ablaze

She feels for the first time

She dances in the wind

She has been struck by lightening

And shortly after

She's gone

Her time on this earth

Has expired
