Bending With the Wind

The young tree bends with the racing wind,

its sap runs swift with life.

It sways and bows dancing to the beat,

knowing no other way to survive!

The tree in full maturity now,

has lost its will to bend, instead

stands firm, refusing to bow

with the racing wind, it uses rather…

strength to stop what can’t be.

The oak must learn from the willow,

that life can’t be tamed only borne,

There are no promises given,

only wind, and rain and storms!
