Inner Strength Empowers

Inner strength empowers

Depressed and devastated life,
Heartbroken, living in deep dark,
Once an ardent lover, now a wife,
Electrifying, has now lost her spark,

Little did she know of his intentions,
Unless summons from court arrived,
Came true all the vivid apprehensions,
Her faith came crashing, lay deprived,

A never thought of life, without him,
Now struggling to untie the knots,
Mental agony had reached its brim,
A firm stand, enough to undo plots,

Awakening of inner strength was all that she had to do,
So strong and confident she would emerge, he had the least clue!

Richard Lamoureux Date: 7/22/2014 9:01:00 AM I think in the end women have reserves of strength that they may be unaware of. Out of pain that strengh emerges and true beauty is revealed. Your poem depicts the emergence of her spirit. Login to Reply Dr. Upma A. Sharma Date: 7/22/2014 9:06:00 AM Yes true Richard! It's only during tough testing times that this strength emerges,, women actually hv always underestimated themselves,, thanks for ur visit n valuable comments my friend!
