A dying forest needs a forest fire
The flames smoldering hot
Slowly decomposing the weeds
As well as the living inhabitants
Nothing is forever
Once the flames have gone
From the ashes and remains
Arises new life and abundance
It is then that the lonely forest
can flourish in rebirth and
become stronger than before.
A lonely human needs suffering
The pain smoldering hot
Slowly tearing at your heart
Decomposing the ego
But nothing is forever
Once the dispair has gone
From your soul
Arises knowledge and strength
It is then that the lonely human
Is free in rebirth and
Becomes stronger than before.

A dying forest needs a forest fire
The flames smoldering hot
Slowly decomposing the weeds
As well as the living inhabitants
Nothing is forever
Once the flames have gone
From the ashes and remains
Arises new life and abundance
It is then that the lonely forest
can flourish in rebirth and
become stronger than before.
A lonely human needs suffering
The pain smoldering hot
Slowly tearing at your heart
Decomposing the ego
But nothing is forever
Once the dispair has gone
From your soul
Arises knowledge and strength
It is then that the lonely human
Is free in rebirth and
Becomes stronger than before.
We cannot control nature and the cycles of life, we must feel all emotions and embrace them. Let yourself fall but remember to pick yourself back up. Do not expect anyone else to do this for you. Strength comes from within.
