Old peach tree.
Much fruit born.
Now firewood to warm the heart.

and turns with every corner<br />
seeking the end of the alley<br />
until it slams against the wall</p>
<p>nowhere to turn<br />
at the end of its journey<br />
a time of reckoning<br />
and a blow to be considered</p>
<p>the hurricane comes quickly<br />
and destroys loose fittings<br />
making a time to build and grow<br />
another chance to get it right</p>
<p>the gentle breeze caresses the soul<br />
thoughtful guidance to a subtle journey<br />
places never dreamed of<br />
and dreams that take you home</p>
<p>may you face the wind and dance<br />
may you touch the wind and know<br />
for the spirit is on the wind<br />
and for you the wind will blow</strong></span></p>
