nor is it assuredly swaying in the ways of our mutual design,
Instead it is broken and sighing...swaying and trying...
I'd probably joke a few times,
then the limb would fall and land on our heads,
Still alive, we'd count our blessings and its rings, only to decide it's dead,
Theorizing it was too young to hold our mutual weight,
as we leaned with heavy hearts and wounded memories,
The leaves would keep whispering without our permission,
unaffected by our desires and wishes,
The seeds would keep growing, just as the old wood died in our fire
The sun would melt our masks,
and the breeze would whisk away our fears as soon as they left our lips...
Please forgive this random, imagined, remiss bliss.
Rearrange these atoms as you see fit.
