Strength in Stillness: A Tanka on Resilience

Strength, quiet as dusk,
hides beneath scars and whispers,
a fierce, gentle pulse.
It blooms softly in shadows,
the will to endure and rise.

        I think it’s really cool to see how we jump from each individual’s poem/prompt to the next!

        Yes. That’s what. It’s like moving from one universe to another.
