The way some journeys seek the strong


rising from the ashes along the trail,


they reach to pull you down,


to drag you under.

But down isn’t the end.
It’s where strength lives, rooted deep.


Where the ground breathes,


and truth is tested in silence.

Each bar behind is a rhythm crossed.


Each shade, a pact quietly made.

There’s strength in stillness,


especially when no one’s watching.


In quiet contemplation,


introspection,
 and the resolve to remain—


a new sprout emerges.
