Resilience of the Trees: A Japanese Legend

In the whispers of ancient tales, a wisdom profound,

A Japanese legend, in silence, is found.

"If you feel like you're losing everything," it starts,

"Remember the trees, how they play their parts."

For every year, they shed their leaves,

Yet still, they stand, with roots that cleave

To the earth below, to the sky above,

A testament to resilience, to unwavering love.

In the depths of winter's chill, they stand bare,

Their branches reaching, as if in prayer.

But deep within, life still flows,

A quiet strength, a story it knows.

For in the cycle of loss, there lies rebirth,

A promise of renewal, of endless worth.

Each leaf that falls, each bough that bends,

Is but a chapter in the story that never ends.

So when life feels heavy, when hope feels far,

Remember the trees, how they weather each scar.

For just as they stand tall, through every storm,

So too can we find the strength to transform.

In the rhythm of nature, in the ebb and flow,

We find the courage to let our sorrows go.

For like the trees, we too can rise,

And await the dawn with hopeful eyes.
