A Forest Growing Sideways
A crater has appeared in the forest.
It was not caused by bomb, or explosion, nor even a meteor.
What could’ve caused this calamity that destroyed so much?
It was water.
The life giving source itself, caused this destruction.
Now the trees are growing sideways.
Bridges lifted like feathers and contorted into pretzels.
Rivers turned into copper streams.
Clay and sand now replace the paths that once existed.
No roads, just sand.
The towering trees now lay on their sides in defeat.
Taking a nap, waiting to stand tall once more.
But they must wait a bit longer, because all we can do is watch.
So we watch the crater and the forest growing sideways.
