Fortitude
It is the proximity of death and failure
That gives life its precious glow.
The fears persist. But so do I.
There always exists a chance for happiness
If the heart continues to cherish hope above all.
The Shadows persist. But so do I.
Others will see the gifts and desire those,
Wondering in their want if they too could have the wealth.
The Torments persist. But so do I.
But they do not want to hear about the conflagration
Or the sacrifice it took to acquire such riches.
The dread persists. But so do I.
They desire the view, and
The breathtaking description.
The longing persists. But so do I
But happily pass when offered
The opportunity to make the climb.
The terrors persist. But so do I
This life must be born as it is celebrated.
May the bridges I burn light the way.
The horrors persist. But so do I.
If you persist,
So.
Shall.
I.
