Contest : Evolving Thoughts And Personal Growth
Sponsored by : Jaymee Thomas
________________________
Words unkept, promises broken churned my heart,
like what the whirlwind does to the dunes.
I couldn’t calm down my twirling turbulence
as pent-up anger shattered the shield of tolerance.
Defenseless and discounted I disintegrated,
turned into discarded debris of indignity,
arrogance decayed in intolerant abyss.
Sanguine awareness then found patience,
the candle of inner strength,
ignited as the guiding light
through the exigent intolerance web,
that had entangled the essence of my muddled mindset.
Fortitude is now my stable thought mode,
the space to step back to clearly assess situations,
respond sensibly rather than react impulsively.
Patience, the bedrock of resilience,
the enduring poise in staggering setbacks,
symbolizes time as a pivotal element
in the process of healing and growth.
I have discovered an inner strength
that fortifies me in tempestuous life,
builds the bridge that fosters discernment,
allowing to appreciate the deviant thought perspectives,
and construct connections durable,
Amidst the commotion of turbulent life,
patience an alchemic anchor of calmness,
prevents me from being swept away
by the coercing currents of compulsion,
enabling me to approach life challenges
with composed and collected attitude transforned.
In the remaining phase of journey,
I carry confidently the wisdom of stoicism,
as a virtue that not only illumines my conscience,
but radiates outward,
influencing the quality of my interactions,
and fathoms the depth of my perceptive psyche
with the enduring strength of patience.
