Fortitude

A trickle; unassuming - beguiling in stealth

potent in persistence, unremarkable in show.

Latent force silently mapping narrative.

Melody composed in formative moments

knowingly taking the path most resistant

ripple harmonically compounding to wave.

Unperturbed by bubbles of discontent -

trivial artefact of mind, rapidly collapse;

noisy current on coherent sea of meaning.

A deep repository of learnings accrued -

defining values of venerable intention;

animated by repeated expression.

the lighthouse that liberates self.
