The trees show creativity,
developing day by day, year by year.
The leaves show their colors,
separating them from anything else
because of the gracefulness and the brightness.
The long branch shows its decay; it is ready
to wither and die but it still lives on
like a strong old man. As you look further
into the picture, you see a body of water,
how it moves and slows. It’s the only thing
in nature that is continuously moving.
