Uniqueness

People are as delicate as leaves,
Floating wherever the wind takes them,
Wherever the world takes them…

Each leaf different,
But underneath the same,
The same cells,
The same substance.
But each has different colours,
Different shades,
Different paths,
Different journeys…

Each its own entity,
Each grown from the same tree,
The same tree…
