The pillar

The strong Pillar
Stands alone
in the middle of the open space.

Reaching the skies
disappearing through the clouds,
Towering over the people of the town.

Sudden gusts of wind
Blow
in all directions.

And the Pillar
Wobbles
to and fro.

No longer Strong and
Powerful.

Another storm blows
with Strong Gusts of Wind
and It finally
Breaks.

Over it Topples,
Falling closer and
Closer to Earth with increasing
Speed.

No one to stop the fall
as the pillar
succumbs to gravity
and pressure.

It falls,
with a Thundering Thud
as It Hits
the ground.

Beaten, and
Worn out.
no longer strong,
no longer tall.

Finally defeated,
the pillar lies still,
Alone
in the open space.
