Fortitude
Tall and thin
on ladder stuck
swaying left to right
by heavy luggage
weighted down
anger blinded
sanguine.
On the left
a grudging bag
as a victim soul
disguised
demon pride
on ego throne
not discerning
judging
fear on right
paralyzing
circling around
passive.
Drop your bags
travel ight
turn your gaze
to the sky
right behind
the passing clouds
a new day
is brightening
taking truth
as guiding light
on the good
received
pondering
going forward
energized
by the power
of pardoning.
Gratitude
on left side
joy of charity
on the right
to a happiness
far beyond
by the mind
imagined
saying to God
in truth
I love You
He'll respond
with creation
in festivity
stars and flowers
moon and sun
all rejoicing
as He responds
I love you too
with unending love
eternal.
