The Wind and the Tree

I watch the tree fiercely sway in the shadows of the night
I hear its rustling leaves brushing each other
I step closer to feel the wind that moves through them
The wind touches my body and sees the weakness in my stance
It is cold, harsh, brutal and knows I will fall.
And fall I do, down.
Down amongst the leaves that the tree lost in its battle with the wind.
The wind who stops for no one.
