When life gives you lemons,<br /> Eat them.<br /> They do not taste that bad.<br /> <br /> Life is like autumn.<br /> Stop to crunch the pesky leaves.<br /> <br /> Love is... let me think...<br /> <br /> Don&#039;t judge a book by its cover.<br /> <br /> Poetry is a way to put words to things that are unexplainable.

My foundation grows deep,
Extracting the drops
From the darkness
Encircling.

My arms extend
In all directions,
Heeding the needs of
Those they hold.

My tips grasp
Every shard of light
Whispered through
Their kin.

My core expands great,
Granting protection and
gathering strength from
My whole.

If one part were to end,
My entire might
Would Fall.
