Resilience and Resistance

Drowned beneath the soil.

Gasps of air ignite a spark;

She awakens now.

She’s just like a flame.

A single breath lifts her up,

Smoking through the air.

Settling on water,

Hostile tides push against her.

She fights to burn bright.

She anchors herself.

A fire living on water,

Never surrenders.
