Oh, what courage it takes
To gaze into the eye of the storm
Unflinchingly taking command
Knowing the consequence of blinking first
Witnessing the wild at heart being tamed
As rivers spill over and skies take flight
Steadfastly holding our ground
Questioning only the safety found
By the fleeing of a bird on the wing
Standing against the current
Looking catastrophe directly in the eye
Recognizing fear as our sensible companion
Letting us be strong in our heightened awareness
Intensifying the existent conviction unwavering
A steely belief in what was right all along
Universal blessings soon to be gifted
As the peril of another maelstrom has lifted
Destiny allowed to play out on an angel’s wing

Its what life is made of, funny thing that the thing that makes your pulse race is the very thing that could end it.
There is few sides to this, nice work.
I like the edge but then I kind of got pushed 🙂
The way I see it, we all need a healthy respect for the boundaries that define the edge. Everyone has their own limits. The only way to live free and with vigor however, is to walk just alongside that boundary and get a good look over the edge from time to time.
Nicely put, and a good recipe for a longer life 😀
I always enjoy your writings so much my dear friend.
Love & Hugz ❤
Thank you Patty. I only wish I had time to write now. I hope to be back to my old writing pace soon. I miss it and hope that the writing blade is still sharp upon my return. Be well my dear friend.
