Braving Poems

Braving out the Tsunami

A huge tsunami did not bother these two
Maude McMillian and her twin sister Sue
They got in their shopping cart and rode a wave
Many commented those old gals are brave

We have been in tsunamis worse than this one said
Yes, and we are still alive said her sis, nowhere dead
They laughed and chortled as they blew around

Braving the Storms of Life

Those who brave the storms of life, 

taste in full the essence of it,

while 

those who seek a shelter to find,

Ignorant of life's thrills, forever, stay!

Braving the Stillness



Radiating waves of thoughts unseen,
the battle gallant rages 
in sub-hematoma nether places
An invisible clash against dark principalities
from the shadow realm,
the stricken valiant breathe
with unconscious, godly certainty

Braving the acute stillness of the existential void,
the journey to elevated triumphant entry
is fraught with Golgotha mob Pilate crash noise

Imperceptibly the spirit moves righteously,
as the stillness quakes
at each new dawn

Braving the Storm

Wild rain stripping your thoughts 

and pain away. battling the wind  

finding it hard to catch your next 

breath, wondering will it be your 

last.


An unfamiliar landscape fear has a 

grip of your hand, straying you off

the path.


Braving the storm in a state of  disarray,

you can't think of the words to be saved!,

You

Braving the Chill

Haiku-

a skillful sentry...
keen eyes-all senses sharpened
blends in surroundings

~*~

Senryu-

i can brave this chill
not the below zero at home---
The snow queen’s domain
