I sit in the clouds, hail swarms around me, yet I still must water the trees below.

I fail to quench the thirst of my forest, and thus the hail bestows upon them.

All that's left is hollow trees, that I failed to protect.

People say it's not my fault, but I know better.

I've allowed death to enter the leaves, even though nothing physical had been harmed.
