Grapevine
by Yingcai

Time
Has beaten it into a bronze color
Wind and rain
Torn and scarred it all over
Resistance
Twisted its thin body a zigzag

Don't despise its shabbiness
That is the growth trajectory of a tenacious life
When the autumn sun shines
Its trellis will fully bear
Translucent and succulent fruits
