Resilience
Watching
the love by intensity’s stare
Struggles
and hardships two people might bear
Tragic
the turns come upon as they dance
One
looks away just as other will glance
Hindrance
springs forth too enormous to check
Ship
starts to founder ‘till the rocks leave a wreck
Frightened
of stigma, betrayal and loss
Frailty’s
victims are each weight of their cross
Words
left unspoken mark a road ever beckoning
Trail
soon lost while the doubt’s ever reckoning
The
heart proves resilient for the bond that’s been built
There
is always more milk when a glass has been spilt
