quaking aspens fall quick
free of friction
in too quick succession
sudden sonic shaking
rattling the temple walls
white pine falls slow
endless needles grasping air
thick branches clinging
to neighbour trees
fighting this final
earthbound plummet
A bit like us...

Oh I like Anna's comment........I can see that tree slowly falling, through your words.

One can literally see how tenaciously these pine needles hold back.
