Space to breathe

We need the space to breathe, 

for our growth to proceed,

like the roots of most trees,

spreading laterally below the surface,

than diving deeper into the soil. 


For, we require those connections, 

nothing last longer in solitude,

without the necessary support...

Like the tree's mycorrhizal networks,

a system formed between communities. 


The lone tree can't face, alone,

an impact of hazardous weather, 

no matter the strength it builds...

Sometimes it's in the sharing,

lies the path of our survival. 


Still, we would need conditions,

that let us face many challenges,

building the strength of character,

by leaving behind our weaknesses, 

achieve the power and the wisdom. 


And, this freedom should be sought,

within the capacities and frameworks,

of the society, that support endeavors,

for, even the dense forest suffocates,

if not spread out, all over the place.
