North, South, East and West
The trees are all in a peaceful rest.

We go here, we travel there,
The tree sits still, and fruit it bares.

Our minds are racing through the future and past.
Yet the trees live now, and the longer they last.

For the purpose of our life, we look in all directions.
If we were more like the tree, we would find perfection.

The tree does not toil, or fight what it is.
It accepts the moment, and it lives.

The tree is given everything it needs.
What a grand, peaceful great life it leads.

So stop going in every direction, stand still and stand tall.
Listen to the stillness, and see the majesty in all.
