The sway of the trees

Outside today there was a sway

The ocean air blew through the trees

The trees leaned into it

They did not fight it

They went with the flow of the earth

The flow of the wind

The sway of the heart

There are many things to capture

The heart and the attention

But what is really important?

Does it always need to be a fight?

Can it just be a sit and ride it out?

What will the choice be today?

I choose to go with the sway

The flow can catch me up

Just like the waves of the ocean

I surface and come back up

Over and over again

What was meant to destroy

Only made me stronger, more resiliant

A choice daily, sometimes the wrong one

But still a choice

I will sway with the wind

I will capture what is meant to be mine

Will let go of the rest

Let it wash over me

And move on to where it

needs to go.

We live only one life

Choose this day to just live

No hesitation, no fight, just live.
