UMLÄUT 2020 - THE PANDEMIC ISSUE
RESILIENCE
Isabella Hansen
Resilience sparks the flame
of a hook, line and sinker
better interpreted as
survive, live and recover.
Resilience lives in the body of strength
a metaphor for the growth we aim to claim.
We reach for it
the ability to recover as swiftly as the ever changing wind.
We yearn for it
the ability to withstand anything.
Resilience is the eye of the hurricane
a steady pace of quiet and strength
a grapevine clinging to the stone wall of moving forward.
