Trees by Marne Kilates

All in this purple air swirls,

Life hangs on like eggs or pearls;

No wing or claw braves the storm,

Man clings to roots: piteous worm.

"All in this purple air swirls, " It describe that there's a storm and the air was everywhere.

"Life hangs on like eggs or pearls;" eggs represents life. Egg is fragile, easily broken. So was life. It's like that you have to take care of your life for once you made a mistake, you can never bring back the time to correct it.

"No wing or claw braves the storm," it states that there's nothing to hold on to.

"Man clings to roots: piteous worm." it explains that people who encounters storms (challenges, obstacles, problems) hold on to something to survife. To create hope to continue their life.
