All is never as it seems

What's this?

All is never as it seems, unless you can see

Pure water as wisdom flow through my soul

May this knowledge be as food for my belly

Heartache, be true and I’ll then mend whole

For I grow stronger from what does fight me

My sorrow runs deep, it digs my foundation

Windows of laughter your light dancing free

Walls built from hand cut brick of understanding

Nailed together with strong memories of thee

Fires of remorse may come and scorch my walls

The floods of life may come to consume me

I will remain solid and secure in my new home

For my home is merely the pure essence of me

We have no choice but to stand fast in the path of whatever life may throw at us. I like the feeling of inner strength within the lines of this poem. Our bodies are indeed our temples in more ways than one.

I think that you have tacked the advent of fear to a place of safety very well, well done!
