An
Allegory of Fortitude
Kind
Resilience is my twin;
this
heart-and-soul's kin.
Hiding
behind the moon, eclipsed
from
the wrath of Fortuna's nemesis.
Every
night and every day,
hurtling
towards oblivion.
The
quaint, little chirps resonate
a
mile away from my imagination.
But
the entwined fibers are thick,
like
the wildest honey and vanity.
And
like piney evergreens to last,
towards
daybreak, we're steadfast.
