... unless we choose to live

without false dreams, as do

the cranes which soar and dive

and are content to feel the wind

the warmth of sun, the freedom

of unbuilt environment, for all

its risks & hazards, sustaining,

fulfilling, uplifting and then,

after play fighting for the

best of branches, they settle

calmly, in the arms of trees,

stronger than the will of man

if left to live as nature wills

Oh that more would read and understand how important is the message of your poem.

Take care. Stay safe.☮️
