Stalwartness of a tree!

Cosily tucked in,

From my guarded haven..

I watch the turbulence,

The tempest outside!

Peaking analytically

Into the distant vision

Amongst the trees

Is a ginormous,

Sturdy, magnificent 

Palm tree... 

Its leaves violently rustling,

Swaying to and fro..

Its resistance

Against the mighty winds

Astonishes me!

How that single body

Facing the blows

Of a gang of gale!

As the deep rooted bole

Stands its ground, 

Securing its existence.. 

I ask myself

Is my deep rooted bole.. 

My stalwartness, 

My mettle.. 

At times of quandary

Enough to resist

And fight.. 

Like that stable tree?

Or would I fail, 

Give up and fall down, 

Crashing over the expectations 

Of my counterparts 

Who surround me!

I sure wish to soar

Against all the gale

That is thrust apon me!!
