Tanka Tuesday – The Illusion of Power

By Kat Myrman

when the wind
bellows through a forest
it’s the trees
that yield,
not those that are unbending,
that endure unmoved

  I remember learning in school sometimes we must be as the trees that bend and sway since they survive, while those who are stubborn FALL.
  Thanks for the memory!
