Poems of Perseverance

words of inspiration

One.

Jagged lines cascading

Along streaks of colors

Outline the night's horizon.

Stay strong in these shadows-

For, daybreak shall soon rise,

And your journey hasn't yet ended.

Two.

Peer just over the hills’ crests,

Look around at all the land holds-

Take in all the potential laid out

As you map its winding roads.

For, tonight we shall make camp

And rest our weary eyes.

Tomorrow’s gift brings with it

The first steps of a new day.

We shall wake and put one foot forward,

So scan this horizon’s landscape,

Plot the course you shall take,

And begin your journey into

The magnificent jungle

Of this world’s wild.

Three.

Storms blow through,

Ravaging each day

For weeks on end;

Our sun grows dim

And darkness settles.

But, not forever-

If we remain strong

For long enough,

We will see the moment

When better days arrive.

Four.

As the sun wakes and rises,

So too does my will and hope-

For, each new daybreak

Brings with it new opportunity.

Never stop believing.

Five.

Though you have been drenched

By showers of life’s chaos,

The time will come

When these clouds shift

And the sun again rises.

Once Earth’s revolution spins

And a new day is born,

Know in your heart that

You will be strong enough

To never allow yourself to fall

As a prisoner of the moment.

For, it is the bad days

That prepare us for better ones.
