"An apple grows from a tree,

and becomes strong and beautieful.

Then it either falls down or gets eaten.

If it falls to the ground it will join the earth

and build new apples.

If it gets eaten it has fufilled its purpose,

to help other creatures survive.

It simply cannot fail with it's quest.

Life should be the same."

"The apple" by Mikael Glännström (10/24/97)
