We always follow
the strongest and the fittest
but only within
our darkest secrets guide us
in the silence of our path

It’s my poem! When I looked at the photo the first thing that came to my mind was the birds and the trees following the leader.

I connected the birds and the trees, and what I saw a common pattern: one ahead and others following. Thanks!

I too read it a couple of times. A profound deep meaning in the last two lines. I guess those darkest secrets could be as simple as our fears, that we hide and keep close to our heart🤔

Yes, it can be fear, or maybe the past that still controls our present decisions. 🙂
