Poem: Changes 47/Exhaustion

1
You can't get up
You will get up
You can't get up

2
The lake is dry
Adversity is the reverse
Of success but leads to success

When you meet adversity
Your cheer is the source
Of later success

If adversity only bends you
It creates in you a power
To straighten up in time

3
Staring into a gloomy valley
You are oppressed by bonds
That can be loosened

You sit under a bare tree
And wait

For the lake to fill.
