Fragile But Determined

FRAGILE BUT DETERMINED When leafage brushes hues of gold and brown painting a canvass delighting the senses. The mind tickled in imagination to wander, wonder round. Amidst tweaks heard from brittle lumber's arms: a seasonal alopecia brought by winds, crisp-cold. Breezy chill caress, frenzy fanning sometime in a flash. I tag his hands, stepping nearer for better warmth... Rustling running crystal water tumbling to rocks yet still, effortless flowing and flowing yelling life! So must we even when dragging miseries arise standing unconditionally, fragile but determined. A whispher of prayer roar, like ocean currents melting stony hearts. Resurrected beats drum hopeful, lub, dub! Lub-dub! Lungs in fever air resonating flowering depthness of undying faith ________________________________________________________ October 10, 2017
