Fall before the fall

twas the tallest of these
the golden petaled trees
that tossed and twisted
and toppled to its knees

in torrid tempest thrash
and windy thunder flash
brought low haughty high
to rain soaked soil and ash

lay dying shining yellow crown
and green wings on cold ground
unearthed the Achilles heel
where shallow feet were bound
