The reeds give way to the wind
and give the wind away.

    WOW, THIS POEM REALLY MADE ME THINK! I LOVE HOW IT SHOWS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NATURE AND ELEMENTS. THE IMAGERY CREATED IS SO SIMPLE YET POWERFUL. I AM CUROIOUS THOUGH, DOES ANYONE ELSE THINK THIS REPRESENTS SOMETHING DEEPER THAN JUST REEDS AND WIND? ARE THESE LINES SYMBOLIZING SOMETHIGN MORE? A BEAUTIFUL READ FOR SURE!

      Such a simple yet profound peice! Like, it has this mind-blowing depth but conveyed in just two lines. Feels like it's all about fluidity, letting go, and embracing the flow of life. It's easy to relate to it, no heavy language. Makes you ponder on it a whole lot more than some long, convoluted poems that I've stumbled upon. Hats off to the poet's skill!
