Trees
By bubj98 BRONZE
Oceanside, California

Trees should not sing songs, Yet they do with their green leaves, Are they defiant. Is that why they fall, Is that why we cut them down, Do they die for songs. We should...

"It's funny. When you leave your home and wander really far, you always think, 'I want to go home.' But then you come home, and of course it's not the same. You can't live with it, you can't live away from it. And it seems like from then on there's always this yearning for some place that doesn't exist." - Danzy Senna

Frodo: I can&#039;t do this, Sam.<br /> Sam: I know. It&#039;s all wrong. By rights we shouldn&#039;t even be here. But we are. It&#039;s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn&#039;t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it&#039;s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn&#039;t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something. <br /> Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam? <br /> Sam: That there&#039;s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it&#039;s worth fighting for. -The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
