Deep in the forest
Lies a tree grand in size
Older than the rest
But close to demise

Each winter is harder
The bitter cold bites
And is a slow killer
But still she fights

The humans come with axes
And **** those around her
Never able to relax
When one day she'll just be lumber

Each day branches snap
Because of the dry life
The sun beats down as she naps
Always causing strife

And one day she withers
And is not longer in pain
But all she has weathered
Is not in vain

Because below seeds flourish
The ground is moist and full of water
And soft, full with nourish
All thanks to mother

If you check every moment
On the progress you make in life
You'll notice nothing

and miss everything

So you do you
Look back after a while
And be surprised by the life

*you lived

It is always so interesting
What people will fight over
One moment there is laughing
Then there are blows to deliver
No one remembers the path
That lead us to this wrath

In theory, there's no reason
To fight and bicker
Yet the cocked is the gun
And life ended in a flicker
Reason we do not have
That lead us to this wrath

If you give people nothing
They will come together
But given something
And war we will enter
All because we won't share
Does wrath overcome care

Oh clouds
How you mock me so
Free as can be
And being is free

Oh clouds
How you fly without care
Any form you take
Is yours alone

Oh clouds
How you cry rain
And send snow
Your emotions free to show

Oh clouds
How I wish I could join
But I'm here on earth
Bound to my duties

Oh clouds
How I hope you the best
Because I'm staying down here
Among those I love

Oh clouds
How lonely it must be
To be up so high
Away from everyone

Oh clouds
How you pay for freedom
With pennies of friendship
So you can live how you want

Oh clouds
How I envy you
Yet for me friendship
Is priceless

Goes the typewriter
Each letter pressed with purpose
Otherwise the letters are lighter
And the line losses earnest

Any mistake cannot be erased
Merely written over
The correct letter is paste
But the mistake still remains under

Each line manually changed
The writer can stop and start
But nothing can be rearranged
So each must line must contain heart

A typewriter embodies human nature more than one might think.

Because...
Words can describe
Emotions and dreams

Because...
Words can explain
Who I am

Because...
Words can relay
My feelings to others

Because...
Words can show
What the body can't

Because...
Words can make life
Make sense
