Es muss auch Spiel und Unschuld sein und Blütenüberfluss sonst wär’ die Welt uns viel zu klein
und Leben kein Genuss.”
– Herman Hesse, Bäume. Betrachtungen und Gedichte

All around and on the ground
Blooms strive to live
Underground, over ground
Nature lives as she gives
Desperation grounded, death confounded
Abundance, living, giving
Never failing to,
Cheat
Extinction
