Family of Trees

WITH STRONG WINDS BLOWING SO HARD,
FAMILIES OF TREES ARE SHAKEN TO THEIR CORE,
LEAVES SLOWLY DETACHED FROM THE BRANCHES,
AND THROWN WITH NO CARE TO THE DIRTY GROUNDS,
SWEPT AWAY WHILE TRYING TO CATCH A BREATH ON DUSTY GROUNDS,
TO THE FAR, FARAWAY LANDS,
SOON TREES BE LEFT WITH JUST BRANCHES, NO LEAVES,
THE NOISE THEY MAKE NEVER HELPS,
AS THEY CRY FOR THAT RUTHLESS, HEARTLESS CREATURE TO STOP,
SCREAMING DIFFERENTLY EACH DAY,
HOPING THAT CHANGING SOUNDS WILL MAKE IT STOP,
BUT THE CREATURE KEEPS ON TAKING WHAT BELONGS TO THEM EACH DAY,
UP UNTIL THE SOUND THEY MAKE IS ALWAYS THE SAME EVERYDAY,
THEN LONELINESS, SADNESS ARISE IN THE FAMILY OF TREES,
SOLDERING ON WITH BROKEN SOULS, HEARTS AND SPIRITS,
ASKING THEMSELVES UNANSWERABLE QUESTIONS,
TRYING TO UNDERSTAND AND GET GOOD REASONS BEHIND ALL THIS,
ITS OFTEN SAID THAT YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW, THEN WHY DOES THIS CREATURE KEEPS TAKING AWAY OUR FRUITS?
ARE WE THE ONES RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THIS?
BUT REGARDLESS OF CONTINUOUSLY BEING RIPPED APART,
AS TIME GOES BY WITH THE HELP OF LIGHT,
EVERYTHING GRADUALLY GOES BACK TO NORMAL,
TREES MAKE SOUNDS OF SOOTHING MELODIES, RATHER THAN THOSE OF SCREAMS SO PAINFUL,
YEAH I UNDERSTAND THAT SEASONS AS THEY CHANGE, FAMILY OF TREES ALSO CHANGES,
LOSING LEAVES AND THEN LATER GAINING NEW ONES,
NEW LEAVES STILL OCCUPYING THE SAME BRANCHES AS OLD ONES,
BUT WITH SOME BRANCHES BROKEN BEYOND REPAIR, AND SOME JUST FRACTURED,
THE FAMILY OF TREES MAY SEEM WHOLE AGAIN,
BUT THINGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME,
ONLY THE OLD UNSOLVED QUESTIONS WILL REMAIN
WHY DO WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THIS?
WHY DOES THE WIND TAKE AWAY OUR FRUITS?
BUT AS TIME MATURES STRENGTH AND COURAGE WILL BE BESTOWED TO THE FAMILY OF TREES
GIVING THEM POWER TO OVERCOME RECENT TRAGEDIES AND STAY STRONG FOR THE UPCOMING SEASONS,
UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT YOU LOSE TODAY COMES BACK TOMORROW JUST IN DIFFERENT FORM
THAT LOST LEAVES OF A TREE WILL NEVER COME BACK TO THE SAME TREE,
BUT SURELY WILL GIVE RISE TO NEW ADDITIONS TO THE FAMILY,
WITH SUCH UNDERSTANDING THE FAMILY OF TREES WILL BE AT EASE,
AND WAY DEEP WITHIN THEIR ROOTS HOPEFULLY WILL FIND SOME PEACE,
PAIN WILL BE THERE WHEN THEY LOSE THEIR LEAVES BUT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BLIND THEM OF HAPPINESS OR HOLD THEM AS PRISONERS
