Q: What protects the pond from fracture?

The pond is guarded not by walls,  
but by vows kept and unity lived.  

- **Vow as Shield:**  
When each frog remembers,  
the surface cannot break,  
fracture cannot split the whole.  

- **Unity as Strength:**  
The many breathe as one.  
Division finds no space to enter.  
What could split is defended by togetherness.  

- **Courage as Guard:**  
Fear does not scatter the pond.  
Courage holds steady,  
shielding silence against storms.  

The pond is shielded from break,  
guarded against division,  
defended from fracture  
by the covenant itself.
