the story of 枫(maple)[this story is written from the perspective of the tree]
continued...
its been a while since the tree was doin other things other than concentrating on his fifth season of growth. as it turns out, that was the maximum that he could rose to. his previous season of growth greatly stumped his attainment to great heights. nevertheless, he wasnt disappointed. he focused all his attention towards growing more branches, that in hopes leaves might grow flourishly in one of them.
despite being the last season of growth, he had made sure that all this fuss hadnt gone to his head. he still tried to make time for himself, family, frens and the people that he loved and loved him. it was a total mess. he feels ever lonely and apart from all of this.
amongst all these changes, he tried to look for the wind, to have at least someone to rely and depend upon. but all he found was himself.
loneliness is the training ground for the pursuit of greatness? and solitude is the only weapon that the tree can weld to train for greatness?

a Tree's sonata
a love song for the one in the spring of love, is a great beginning.
a love song for the one in the summer of love, is a great excitement.
a love song for the one in the autumn of love, is a great dream.
a love song for the one in the winter of love, is a great sorrow.
within the hollow trunks of a Tree, this sonata is brought to life.
within the hollow of himself, this sonata is shattered to pieces.
**********************************************************
can the wind find the tree again? can the wind stop his spiral descent of depression? is the training of greatness jus a figment of his imagination? can they develop the faith and trust to lean and depend on one another?

as the tree continues to grow in his fifth season of growth, he feels ever lonely and isolated.
the tree had been a source of support for many around him. a toilet, a shelter and even a punching bag for the passing by animals. he is no doubt immune or even numb about such stuff, as he believe deeply that its all part of his growing up as a tall sturdy tree.
but he has is still not all that tall and sturdy yet. he still have moments of weakness where he wish to lie and depend on another. he yearns to be desired, to be a centre of attention. to be that someone that can stop the world in another person's eyes. to be that someone to cause someone else to skip a heartbeat. to be in the limelight. to be seen, appreciated and not jus be left there for the next animal to use.
the wind had always lived a life of independence, can she understand?

the story of 枫(maple)[this story is written from the perspective of the tree]
continued...
another season has jus arrived for the tree, it was a season for him to grow more branches and grow in height. it was not a season available to all trees though. it would mean that, a particular tree had to possess the right conditions to even be considered for such a season. for other trees, it happens twice or thrice. but for the tree, this is his fifth season of growth.
during this season not only will his branches spread and grow, he will also have a chance to grow taller. with his mulitplying branches, he can thus grow more leaves to provide for himself in the future. with height, he can grow and see further and know more trees out of his own little forest. it was however, he had to strike balance between the best of the 2 worlds.
this was a moment of great change for the tree. the tree is afraid of wat might happen. afraid of the change that might put a gulf between him and her. would this change make him forget his love for her? the tree was already a tall tree by himself, but he lacks the self-confidence that comes with his height.
