The Branch

There stood a towering flaky tree
Gazing towards the sky, it gently looked at me
One branch waved goodbye.
Mother gradually called to me
The branch fell on thee
She felt like hot green tea.
Branches so full and tall
Felt like a twig
Flimsy, but ready to dig.
Hours steadily passed with much to know
“Attend what?” I asked and glow
Below is all a show.
I thought I had something good
But I misunderstood
Branches do not endure.
