Sycamore Gap Tree
My twisted limbs danced in the gale,
I waited, watching.
As planes flew by and people came and went,
I stood here.
I lost track of time.
My leaves witnessed smiles and tears,
My branches were tumbled over and danced upon,
My knots were captured in perfect photographs across the world.
All it took was one day to end it.
Tell me, please,
What made you cut me down?
Did you have a bad day, or was it a dare?
Its okay, I forgive you.
I am just a tree.
My memories are just leaves drifting in air,
My heart is simply a stump sitting in the grass.
And even though you reduced me to this stump,
And I am gone physically,
I will live through memories.
I hope you feel better now.
On the morning of September 28, 2023, the Sycamore Gap Tree, know for its scenic location and beautiful structure, was found to have been chopped down by a few men.
