resilience

when the tempest
roars
its fury through
the bleak night

bend and sway
as those
gusts of malignant air
swirl violently
around

learn to dance
on the knife edge
of uncertainty
and remain
unbreakable

when the waters leap
and spray
and the pull of the tide
threatens to obliterate

become one with the sea
rise to the surface
float and swim
through the angry
swell

learn to glide
on the knife edge
of uncertainty
and remain
unsinkable
