Cactus
Your soul needs food and nurturing;
Your heart needs water and life;
Your body needs both to be fulfilled;
A thirsty soul will be weak and die.
A starved heart will corrupt and wither.
A body without a heart will lose the soul.
You may have water and still be thirsty,
You may have food and still starve,
You may have everything and have nothing,
For all is but at best vanity, vanity, vanities.
