IMMORTALITY

As the current catches the limbs,

They shake.

The cranberry-tinted leaves,

They break,

And fall

To their knees,

Before the Divine,

The Trees.

Mother Nature always rises again,

As soon as the winter ends,

She blooms more beautiful than ever.

And just as she does,

Her followers never give up when they fall.

For she taught them, that

Where there is death, there is life.

That no one ever truly dies,

Because spring is always just 'round the corner

To plant them where their stems have bent,

And leaves spent.
