The fool who wrote this piece
Would ponder if he did miss
The essence of its message
Or time in its passage.
The trees are gone with the cloud.
Laying a desert on its path,
While the winds applaud
An evil aftermath.
I think I shall finally see
A kind-hearted man plant a tree,
For he who truly loves Thee
Shall love others through a tree. "
From: LIGHT IN THE WOODS by AV Rotor Megabooks 1995
