A bandaged warrior
An unusual sight brings you to a stop. A tree can mean several things... Hope, spring, Life, optimism, beauty... Friend, companion, confidante. Unfortunately, your favorite tree is reduced to being 'a patient' at times... but with the gritty resolve of a survivor. Things will limp back to normal, urge those helping hands, doing their innovative bit to sustain a life. Can you hear every bit of bark swaddled in white, writhing in silent agony, chanting a mantra for recovery? Patience, patience, patience...
