Like a boxer, who just got hit, like forests, who faced a wildfire in summer, like axolotls, who just got injured. Pain, misfortune and suffering,

Flowing along beige mists.

‘’I shan’t be able to recover.’’, be the distressed mindset of one.

One, as in, a dime a dozen. Thoughts as such lingering through their minds,

Hopping, zestful, another victim to be found.

But,

‘’How shall I adapt’’, flows through the minds of a few.

A few, who rise the farthest they can.

A few, whose mindsets we should echo.

Because,

The boxer will absorb the punch, and continue the jostle, The forest will re-blossom all well and new,  Tiny axolotls will regrow and regenerate.

These anecdotes are the reincarnation of resilience.
