I really think you need to distill the essence of the story into more musical lyrics.Cliche:  &#8220;four winds&#8221;  and if they blow strong they aren&#8217;t a contrast element for love that never fades.  And what does a swinging young tree have to do with anything?This all IMO and only meant as honest critique.  See how it jibes with what you hear across 10+ reviews.
