Makes the tortoise cry

It isn't meant to be hard.

Scrambling  for the words...

Life is life

Behind each posture
   something lost.

Should be trying to help.

Instead, a constant squabble,
  never reaching you.

Only  those you claim to protect.

The rest,
  only leaves in the wind.

:: heartbreaking... sometimes we just have to do our best... and let go... i guess it's a part of being a mere mortal... :: that last image of "leaves in the wind" is particularly poignant...
