Life
Life
The tree of life is everlasting with great beauty to behold
Seeds may fall to the sea of green
Sheltered by the tender blades
forever reproducing life
Others fall but never rise
Falling on the shady side
On earth refusing to produce a bud
Unable to see the light
The tree of life is torn
Between the darkness and the light
Unable to conclude or choose
Which is morally right
And in all the fury
The tree of life is struck
By a bolt of indecision
And it withers to the ground
The darkness did not flourish
Nor was it enlightened with hope
And the light side lives in denial
That the dark side even exists
