Read the poem below and answer the following questions. In the tempest's dance, flowers tremble, a delicate ballet, Their petals catching whispers, as storms try to sway. Yet, in the gusty waltz of the relentless gale, Each bloom stands resilient, a tale to unveil. Raindrops like silver tears, on petals that they tread, Yet, flowers bow not, they raise their glistening heads. Against the thunder's roar, they send a silent protest, Fragile strength emerges, creating a quiet conquest. In the storm's fierce grip, where the shadows play, The blossoms still endure, blooming come what may. A metaphor for life, in the garden's sway, Perseverance whispers, "You'll find your way."
