Endure

*+-__endure__-+*
The passion the fire
Tsunami like strength
From such a placid lake
The dream the inspiration
Vision Moses prophetic
From such a dull bore
The hopes the endurance
Stamina herculean in effort
From such a flawed vessel
All these things and more
Expected in love and war
Not noticed in peace
Or expected beyond
Altar and honeymoon
As if all before drove to this place
And then all energies were erased
Dull mind expended all spirit
Muscles fatigued and deadened
Vessel flawed returned to fail
Why should it be
Expected failure will occur
Ignore the premonitions
The doomsayers and vultures
The never do good sayers
Now is your time
To take yoke and plough on
Survive not abandon
For the next day and next
All you need to survive
Starting alive each day
Plot out course to safely ending the next.
