Summer and Winter

I am a magnificent Baobab tree who stands tall with thick wood!

The sun kisses my leaves that display a brilliant array of shades which were never even thought to come to be.

An ecstatic feeling radiates throughout my roots.

I am vigorous.

I can fend off anything that may threaten my ability to love zealously.

I am unstoppable.

My wood will never rot.

Then, winter came.

 

I am a tiny, fragile tree with no foundation.

A storm is throwing me in all directions with it\'s bullying winds.

Nothing can heal my broken branches.

All my leaves have fallen off.

I am naked.

No one is there to shelter me. 

I am dying.

Nothing can save me.

The elderly women who feed the birds quietly watch as I deteriorate over time and laugh.
