The ice covered tree bark, Crystalized sap woven into the fabric of nature, Well sought meaning behind this image, The tree gives life, and breathes, It Comes back to life, flourishing in spring and summer, It gives breath to all beings, calm one's soul, to heal the next, Autumn comes, it's leaves fall heavy to the ground, Seeking an end to its reign on life, but not that tree, it slumbers, hibernates in the cold, Sheds it's leaves looks perished but it's not, The sap gives life to beings that are cold and hungry in winter, but it freezes, It ages, wears down, for the message in this is simple, The winters come, trouble seeks us, we fail, we freeze, but our heart still bleeds, giving us life until the winter is over, We are the tree, in all facets of life, because no matter what happens we survive, we love, and we continue to breathe, in order to heal another soul, So that another soul may flourish, Love and breathe, Just like the tree
