a tree that appears lifeless is alive
giving a delusional appearance
pretending to be old and worn
but the tree that appears lifeless is alive.
a man that appears withered is full of life
walking with a tiresome gate
going about and living the days
but the man that appears withered is full of life.
a clock that appears to have slowed is alive
giving a notion of the end of time
counting the minutes and passing the hours
but that clock that appears slow is alive.
