Am I Oak Or Willow Today

Am I an oak today? Or a willow? I stare into my soul Which one is going to benefit me? I see myself in flexible terms, but have I already bent too far backwards? I am lingering at the water’s edge staring into the pool of self fulfillment waiting to see what strengths come forward. A large oak tree begins to grow out of the center of the lake Showing me what is needed to survive I smile as she rises stronger and taller than ever before I can hear wolves howling their approval. It is enough.
