You made me Dauntless
Part of me is half full and empty
Like a right-handed person trying to be lefty
Trying to scribble down the chaotic memory
Of the hurt I got from ignoring me totally
I try to break my own rules and standards
‘Cause I thought you’re the ace in a card
I dive too deep into the false hope reward
I just realized that you are a real coward
Late-night talks and calls are useless.
You changed instantly and left me clueless.
I threw away the feelings too effortlessly
It made me confident, braver, and dauntless
I’m fed up with trying to make things keep going
It’s you who stops holding and believing
I’ll never let myself fall again for nothing
‘Cause often looks and words are deceiving

Title 4/ Dauntless
Quote:
"Put on the dauntless spirit of resolution." William Shakespeare
My daring and intrepid knight so strong,
this message is an urgent plea to you.
For your sweet kiss and fond embrace I long.
I have been captured. Now what can I do?
You promised me your hand in marriage, and
you're resolute; your promises you keep.
I’m in the tower of the castle grand,
held here by the king’s son. I weep and weep,
for knowing you are far away, yet I
have faith that you will come and rescue me.
My messenger will give me your reply.
I pray each day your face once more I’ll see.
Oh, dauntless knight, make haste because my fate
is in your hands. For your return I wait.

Quote: Put on the dauntless spirit of resolution.
By William Shakespeare *
Dauntless
Fearless as the moon on a non lit night
this old warrior soul of mine keeps on
settled within this omnipresent light
I feel safe here and I can do no harm
Undaunted in a sky filled with promise
a brave soldier both bold and valiant
is spirited through an Angel's dromos
by a catadromous hour, of fragment
Audacious as the stars that light the way
this former fighter willful as the rain
will search for his relief then seize the day
as even dregs of pain will soon refrain
This restlessness fighter soon will cease his roam,
then he will finally know, he reached His Home *

Quote: 'Put on the dauntless spirit of resolution' (King John, act 5, scene 1, lines 48–53) - William Shakespeare
Mutterings of awful shame
(a child’s bones)
vie for supremacy;
yet here you are, cowering incessantly.
You hide in a game of thrones.
Fie!
Put on the dauntless spirit of resolution, Sir!
Show courage in a worthy hopeless cause,
my Blade Runner, my bread-and-butter.
Show your true flag.
Ah yes, truth will not cover in glory;
that is the power of propaganda.
Begone, John Lackland;
they don’t like your story.
Magna Carta.
Charter of the law.
Gotcha.

Dauntless spirit like fearless lion
Braving the way unto mount Zion
Finding ways to mend the storm
Within the bounds of what is norm
Wounded and bleeding but stands tall
Rising up bravely after each fall
Like a soldier bound to fight
Until the last light of his sight
Not fearing giants and the ants
Fighting tall for what he wants
For, what he wants is what is right
Pouncing bravely with the light
He may be alone but he is mighty
He holds the reasons of the almighty
Against the tempests he stands strong
For, he knows, he does no wrong

It took every fiber in her being,
Away from the horrific scene.
To stood there,
She hopes the court will be fair.
Answer all these questions, when, why, how,
Felt like an owl.
Repeating herself,
When in her past they started to dwell.
It happened so fast,
All she could remember was the blast.
Goliath was in front of the door,
Blocked her way, before she hit the floor.
She called on all her courage to face the ordeal.
Conjured David in her to appear
Her dauntlessness grab the gun,
In a spun a new nightmare begun.
The Headlines of the day.
Courageous was she, a valor received

To stand for truth, and take no guff.
To fly like an elegant eagle in the storm.
Oh, give me courage to be just like him.
To fight for truth and keep it warm!

Being Dauntless
Written: by Miracle man
1-20-2020
When younger I was dauntless,
and in thought yet remain.
But due to time passing,
things aren’t quite the same.
The times are long past,
when I would cede to no man.
If doting on intimidation,
one needed another game plan.
There have often been times,
when I have been bested.
But never before my nemesis,
will had been tested.
Now my ability has skedaddled,
and my life is most spent.
Yesteryear’s “giddy-up and go,”
has just “got up and went.”
“if you’re never scared or embarrassed or hurt,
it means you never take any chances”

My heart, touched by the magic wand of the flowery fairy
Bloomed into a transparent and vapory bird
Seeking to break open the door of its cage
To feel life, to be immersed in its essence
To drown in its fantasy,
Fantasy which can be at times awakening
While at other times, soporific!
My heart, after having sipped the dew of its new dawn
Found the strength to break open its cage
And flew away, leaving me, in a most disorientated state
Why, without it, I no longer felt safe, I no longer felt warm
As I usually was with it, enlaced in between its steady beats!
Why, after having met with the alchemy of existence
My heart was free to morph into whatever it wanted
Of course, after having experienced life in all its forms
It chose to be human,
My heart, so innocent, now lived in the guise of femininity!
Pray, stubborn, I kept searching for it, found it
And lost it again times and again
But it would heed me not
My heart now had the sweet taste of freedom
In its mouth
Now, it was bent on jolting to life's fine-tuned
Symphonious ambience!

Sweet Ellie was sitting in the car one day,
and thought of the darnest thing to say,
she said, "mommy I know owls are nocturnal,
'cuz mommy owls are NOT TURTLES!"
Ellie had such a good sense of humor in mind,
seemed so tenderly gentle and kind,
but when mommy asked her not to do it again,
she said, "mommy close your eyes then!"
Ellie asked mommy what was in her hand,
she thought she somehow would understand,
mommy said, "Ellie it's a calculator for math",
"no mommy it's a calcuNOW", oh how she laughed.
She thinks of such silly things she can't comprehend,
like when mommy asks for a hand to lend,
Ellie says, "mommy I can't help right now,
I'm with Billy having a cow." She thought, WOW!
Ellie always wondered why ice cream she ate,
while mommy and daddy were on a bedroom date,
she'd stay up late and hear the noise they were making,
and that I've cream she had no trouble taking.
Sometimes mommy wonders what goes through her mind,
and the answers she just can't seem to find,
but she's mommy and daddy's little girl,
with enough dauntless thoughts to ruin the world!

THE DAUNTLESS CLIMBER
On the mountain climbs a cloud
Who never fears retreat
Sensationally his climb excels
As other clouds he meets
While longingly I--on the ground--
Would soar up if I could
To join his fearless one time climb
Without the fear of blood
Valdez, Alaska
from a former climber
now a hiker....

A river which glitters like a silver snake
Looked upon from this astonishing height
As it carves a chasm through the mountain stone
After centuries of persistent fight
Watching as the river forges on,
How can a person who has stood in awe
Think his life beset by harsh adversity
Believing to be crushed by one last straw
As he watches the waters tumble and flow
He might learn that to reach a long life goal
He needs only to hold one course through life
And that it helps to have a dauntless soul

Her face was grim
An uneasy feeling crept inside
She hoped to be in a dream
But it was reality's flipside
Happiness started to drain
Down to an unknown horizon
Which caused immense pain
And away from reality she wanted to run
Having no choice, she tried to be strong,
Taking it like an obstacle
Yes, it did take real long
But her problems with guts, she did tackle
She was soft and weak at heart
Prior to all the mess
Presently she ain't even scared of the piercing dart
As now she's turned dauntless
