Part of a mini series

Written on, a verse from a lengthy poem of mine titled
"A world within"; from the 3rd stanza:

"Abrupt is the weather's character; erratic, its nature.
Its tempests and droughts take turns tossing me about,
As though I weigh less than a leaf! How small I am made,
Despite my daily efforts to become strong and rooted;
Here I reside—at the mercy of the whims of the wind."
