ever Think about a Tree?
though sturdy it be
it still must bend
to accomodate the directions of the wind.

whether young or old
it still can't be so bold
to defy
that invisible force that flows through the sky.

and so We Be,
Humanity.
no matter how strong or stout we seem
we too must learn to lean,
to sway, to give in
to the directions of Life's Wind.

north, south, east or west.
the Wind's of Life will force Our Shape.
all we can do is do our best
to conform to Life's Landscape.
