::: Rebirth :::

A madrona hangs on the edge of insanity shedding its red bark like blistered skin -rolling creamy butter from the knife and falling lifeless to the ground adding to piles of defecation.
Brittle leaves once vibrant and glossy; crumble like dry, caked mud and tumble to earth.
Mother embraces their warmth as winter blasts a cold, harsh wind.
Worms weave in and out as bugs dance a comical jig.
Compost forms sustaining the tree's life and feeling renewed, buds sprout from its limbs.
Clad in newly grained red bark; vivid green, leathery leaves emerge and white pyramid clusters blossom.
The madrona is reborn and stands tall overlooking the sound from its perch.
