Donned in my kimono best, I ventured into the bamboo grove.
Walking gingerly up the steps,
my heart swell with anticipation.
The bamboo trees, so green and tall.
Like a tower of strength, they lent me the courage to face the unknown.
Rays of sunshine flickered through,
bringing the warmth that strengthened my soul.
Know that I can be like the bamboo - resilient and calm and elegant, on my own.
