Of Trees and People

Amazing

By Kate MinnowPublished 9 years ago 1 min read

Amazing how

a tree rooted in the ground,

tentacled deep into soil––

can be excused for

yielding

to the strength of the storm.

Yet a person,

a human being,

feet barely above the dirt––

should feel burdened

to withstand

all the winds that life can bring,

and remain resilient to

the coming tempest.
