Poetic Verses
Fortitude
In the quietest of moments,
amid problems yet unsolved,
in subconscious deliberation,
the mind forges to resolve
All the mundane snags and wrinkles
of life's consequence untidy,
meander through the solace
of comprehension great and mighty
And there between pressed rose petals
and soft warm purring kittens,
reality, like razor blades
cutting tips from warm wool mittens
The things we take for granted fall
on pavement, shattered, broken, scattered;
obstructing the journey forward
rendering tomorrow just more tattered
'Tis life's fleeting moments
whether planned or unexpected,
that builds our character and esteem
or breaks it and dissects it
So, in the quietest of moments
when all of those thoughts unravel
let all of your fortitude drive you
on the road of life you travel
