Fortitude's Daughter

Wonder's Mother, Misery

      Digging up the philosophical topic:
      Disputing bliss as the ultimate state. 
      Argues that striving for worthy causes
      is crucial to satisfaction. 

    Told as a narrative: 
    I settle for serenity before empathy emerges. 


Fortune arrives! Freedom's apostle forsakes anguish 
Gifted infinite Bliss, my solace destined deservedly
Stream of clarity meanders a universal language 
Friction's absence nestles purity imperviously

Embalmed in Calm's acclaimed lake, swan flossed
Rythemical ripples push potent satisfaction 
Praises recited by besotted Constancy credulous
echo honey hive hums of hexagonal exaction 

Departing debaucherous City vividly abhorred
Putrid brutality writhes with tired rivalries 
Beanstalk brings salvation, stem thrust forward
Garnered ease guarantees Eden's glories

Possessive Bliss demands spellbound devotion
Heaven threatened if Bliss discerns disloyalty 
Clouds combine to combat empathy's erosion
Chastise my facile option of blind buoyancy 

Fog's fugitives scowl at my serenity tenuous
Big top brandishing condemns complacency 
Stampede creatures wet sterile to spectacle
Aloof cautions, storm's rampage prophesied

Thunder's scorn in boisterous cloud growls, 
" Are your horizons devoid of curiousity?" 
Lightning despises consolation Bliss allows 
" Ventures usher insight, mishaps carve tenacity. " 

My plaintive protest, " Bliss gives reality reprieve." 
Vehement gust howls, " Glassy serenity smothers" 
Truth edits template, discards denial' s dry leaves
" Necessary Misery is Wonder's Mother." 

"Wonder's discoveries honour researchers who develop them
Trials and triumph craft tapestry immaculately woven 
Showcased esteem denies distinction endless spectrum 
Taunting tranquility extends pledges inevitably broken." 

Narcotic Bliss persuades with privilege of inaction 
Compassion scaffolds resilience duly collected
Pragmatic rain alerts to a pertinent maxim
Intrigue's face created by Misery's descendant

Thank you, Funom. It's kind of you. It argues a narrow part of a loop, - because denying bliss to put effort into a good cause, would contain blissful moments.
