Resilience

Resilience.

You swirl your mind into embattled breathe
in sly smile and pitiful face that fringes
solitude & depression; fainting
weary emotions in ripples
of haunted memories.

You droll across the throes of depression
in the thine eerie around despairingness –
that kindle blurry sadness reflections
to the the border where sadness
shouldn't be found.

You think of suicide; scorning the thought
to - morrow in rife — creeping the
sweet(s)ide lifetime into a spell
breathe of grief & a shattered
mindscape of weariness.

but then...

When sides turns sigh with the
throng of turbulent voices –
floundering your fortune to tune
in pondering ruin.

alas,awake with the glory of the day
to sway beyond desolate creekside
& exert efforts to desired dreams
for there's more to life!
