Life may seem to blow and sway, just try to make it like a beautiful day.

trees blowing in the distance
swaying willow trees
freely waving in the breeze
never defending itself from turbulence
just the occassional breaking of a limb
its trunk flexible and trim
seems to be in a deep trance
leaning and tipping back and forth
the powerful wind as its engery source
making the willows seem to dance
