We can endure if we put our minds to it. --Michelle Liew

************************************************

Battered trees endure,

Rushing wind now carves the trunk

Gentle breeze shapes bark.

************************************************

Yet the leaves remain

Bend and dance with passing winds

Unyielding---and not torn.
