LIKE A REED

LIKE A REED
I am a reed weak and worn
Tossed around and battered in a
Summer storm.
Frail
Not one of Nature’s best
Yet
Paradoxically
It is my flexibility
That allows me to survive
The strongest oak tree.
And
As I grow old
Feeling death’s Winter cold
I see struggling next to me
The seeds of my progeny.

The oak shall fall The reed
The oak shall fall
The reed shall bow
and weather the storm.
