Yesterday <br />one tree collapsed <br />eight hundred years old <br />and thirty meters high <br />it's true, he was! <br />May you rest in peace <br />beautiful Kamakura tree <br />He did give joy <br />to countless <br />insects, birds, <br />and people. <br />My heart does cry <br />in pain, is trying hard <br />to stop. <br />I'm holding back <br />my fears <br />for younger trees <br />which have no chance <br />to kiss the light <br />for even one <br />more year! <br />Oh dear dear dear.. <br /> <br />must say..I do cry also for my city's trees, which were cut down to make more place for cars.. <br />everytime they work on streets they have no mercy, cutting off all greens..heart breaking! !<br /><br />Elena Sandu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/kamakura-s-treasured-tree/
