resilience is
you, who turns even buzzing
drones, into music

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

There's such strength in finding music amidst chaos, and your haiku honors both that resilience and the power of creative response to transform trauma into connection.
Thank you for sharing this. Art, especially music, is like food and water for the soul. <3
Sad and well written.
