What She Told Me

I may look stagnant, but every piece of me is moving. I cling tight to the nutrients that flow through me. I'm not like you guys, when the rain comes you call up the sunshine to fight that frown. I take both and sink my roots deep. I am the tree, and I only take what I need.

A profound write, Zane! A great affinity to this tree. Sometimes it needs both to prosper and grow. Best wishes, Mikki
