Read "It's This Way" and answer the question. It's This Way

stand in the advancing light,
my hands hungry, the world beautiful.
2 My eyes can't get enough of the trees-
they're so hopeful, so green.
3 A sunny road runs through the mulberries,

I can't smell the medicines-
carnations must be blooming nearby.

It's this way:
being captured is beside the iS point,
the point is not to surrender.
