Testament To Resilience Poem by Suu Casey Young

Testament To Resilience



Gnarled boughs
testament
of battles fought and won.
Fighting leaves
positioning,
to be nurtured by the sun.
Wrinkled, tortured bark
hide behind it’s cloak
a virile trunk.
Twisted, determined roots
drilling
for water in which to soak.
For mankind
who weather
the same tempests as a tree,
strength doesn’t ensure survival,
resilience,
is the key.
