In Lonely Resilience

Joshua Tree National Park, California

 

 

Alone you wait

For rains that never come

They praise your strength

And marvel at the way you thrive

But no one ever thinks to ask

Hey, are you okay?

They never see the days

You bend until you nearly break

Or plummet down in free-fall

With no safety net beneath

Your solitary soul is all

On which you can depend

Yet you carry on and search within

Brave the dark til sunrise comes

Then they return to say

‘How beautiful and strong’
