Wind

As wind and snow push the leaves from each branch
Weather becomes a metaphor for the first to the last
If we linger on the branch we are vulnerable to the wind
If we fall too soon, we are crushed beneath foot and die a bit within
It is easier then
We must accept our fate
The wind will come
It isn't a matter of if
But when
So we should be ready
To have our named in the book of life
With ink and prepared for the pen
