Endurance

Not sure whether to laugh or cry
The cloudy vision of my mind's eye
My head filled with word upon word
Yet, utter speechlessness has occurred
It's as if I had over drank an elixir
My scrambled mind sets my heart a quiver
Forced to over take my fears
All while choking back the tears
As I dawn a smile like nothing is wrong
It's as if I knew it was coming all along
It's not easy trying to be strong
But I'll do it for however long
Because for this is that I'm sure
True Love will always endure

Endurance... a great quality of strength in knowing how and how long to wait. and your ultimate goal is a beautiful and universal one...you are not alone in your quest... Nicely done!

Thank you, love is hard, we are hard to love. It's a journey for sure

Francis, This was a really nice piece, It had so many elements to it, hope, faith, fear, etc. I really liked this piece such a free verse flow to it which I like so much.

[Francis Orion]

It was written heart felt and in the moment, so I glad that came through. Thank you

Knowing the words and being able to say them, and all the thoughts and fears in between, are very different things. I sometimes think life would be easier if I just carried a card around saying, sorry - can't speak. Just use that nothing is wrong smile and keep moving.
True love always endures Francis. It's quite persistent I've heard.
Great write Francis. Full of fear, with a glimmer of hope.

Yes it is, even though my faith it seems often tested, I still believe. Some people are just worth the wait.
