survival
key
to weathering the storm
digging deep
into
one’s fortitude
withstanding
the wind’s lashings
repeating
out loud
1 more day
till the sun breaks
1 more day
till shaking off toils
1 more day
till replacing fear with courage
1 more day
till retracing the steps
……………..that lead you here
the core is not cold
it’s embers ignite
providing warmth
awakening fight
arousing endurance
weathering every storm
