The plants change without permission and yet, we know to call it growth.
The trees change in the face of coldness and return with warmth, and yet, we call it seasonal flow.
The earth is not always even, leaves its mark upon us and gives way to weather, and yet, we still use it to steady ourselves.
The rocks are all unique, rough, smooth, small and different from each other and yet, we classify them as a whole.
The boy is surrounded by all of this and, yet, he still yearns to learn from his screen, not his soul.
