Undaunting Courage

We struggle through life for worthy causes,
and ofter times, it's much too great a risk
to outlive those hardships and come out victorious,
but it's infighting that we regain our lost strength.

We build treasures and find in them no pure happiness,
never undaunting courage, only acknowledging disappointments
and the smallest victory seems a definite delusive dream
falsely envisioned and capable of drawing us to their realm.

Why can't we take the mystery out of divination
and make us aware of our own  distorted realities 
that won't require explanations riddles with doubts,
only considering  the ones worth-keeping
by simply avoiding those less promising.

Rise above a dubious state, spark and enhance your aspirations
and take into consideration the prophetic words of a wise man,
" Life can be a nurturing mother from within,
always giving us that undaunting courage. "


Achievements are the fruit of planned dreams
where a noble and free spirit expresses its emotions through truth,
and whenever a misguided soul wanders off into the cold darkness:
it will die without having felt, or possessed any significant worth,
it will be held captive and denied the simplest joys that ignite tears,
never knowing how valorous is undaunting courage.

Interesting writing, Andrew. I enjoyed reading it. You started with "struggle" and wound up with "undaunting courage." Well done!
