If a Tree Falls...

A tree in the woods is struck by lightning.

The roots remain planted in the soil around it,

the trunk's bark not blackened or burnt. 

However, its inner core smolders, 

becoming hollow and empty,

waiting, hoping, and praying 

for a strong wind.

And a chance to become something else.
