Withered windswept leaf
Hardened heart douses ardor
Bittermelon's bite

Always a lesson in the experience.
Bitter herbs heal, Wind sweeps away the dust of the past, and experience doesn't harden the heart, it just teaches us to know when and how to be flexible and when to stand our ground and stay tough at the same time.

Great use of contrasting words,
blessin's
