The Seasons
Changes in the Wind bring Changes Within
Each timber different from its neighbor Yet they stand together protecting each other
As a community they grown and flourishSharing their wisdom to further nourishOne another in every forest, everywhereAs each species has something to share
Then a bleak wind fills the air
And the leaves hold on unawareThe elements bring on new changes
And slows down the ancestors exchangesThe trees start to loose their petals
And the color transforms into many freckles
As the cold strengthens and the air begins to stingThe branches loose their leaves and sleeps until
springIts age begins to show and now the time has come
For the oak to drop its seed and to succumbFor the acorn will reproduce Another tree with new roots

Growing together
As an acorn exists in a hard shell with only one seed to give,It falls from a tree so it will continue to live,
It moves and shakes; the seed begins to crack its shellStronger and stronger it becomes until a root begins to swell
Its arms and hands reaching into the darkness looking for lightIt struggles to survive, to find its path, to take flight
Something strong and durable begins to form
A backbone that would hold up to a stormNever does it stop growing and feeding from the earth
The sun, rain and air gives it, its worthTall in the sky, it commands individuality,
To be different and unique to reach its final destiny
From its trunk it begins to spreadReaching outward and overheadEach finger holding knowledge
With every stem connecting to foliageGreen and spiraled they sway in the windLush in leaves the tree is fully brimmed
