the tree and the sun

it's sad
how the tree needs the sun,
but the sun would still shine as bright without the tree.

it's unsettling
how the tree would always look up to the sky,
yet the sun is never seen looking back.

it's upsetting
how traces of the sun lingers in the skin of the tree,
but to the sun the tree is a tree among the trees.

it's life
when the tree is all dried up,
yet the sun is still in its glory.

Seems like the stage to dash for the things that keep you awake at night. But, that's all fiction. That's all fiction. To me, life is one of a ride. You go up, then you go down. You say hello, then there is goodbye. You strive, then there's stillness. It is against the world. It is against the rules. Being still when everyone's in a hurry. But then, a voice whispered. Be still. Eventually, you will thrive.
