Growing old; a part of life. Everything around us will grow old someday - no exemption. Many are terrified of the thoughts of growing old and dying. I, myself am not to keen to being wrinkly and getting weaker. Unfortunately, this is a part of our lives we cannot escape. The haiku below is a metaphor to growing old, so I suggest not to take it at face value.
Despite only being three sentences, it has a lot of hidden meaning within, so I suggest reading it a few times. Anyways, I hope you will enjoy reading it.
Leaves being stepped on, broken
Gust of wind carrying the debris, scattered
Old tree no longer green
