This piece is quite simple; a golden tree swathed in darkness but illuminated by warm sunlight. Although it is in a bleak environment and its branches are completely barren, the tree still grows strong, fueled by the light; when many of us face despairing circumstances, we can always turn to hope to see the light in the darkness, and maybe we can flourish even when we are in the hardest of times.
