Courage To Repeat the Victory

Courage to repeat the victory

 

 

 

 

The victory is yours if you desire

This stage that you call home

May not be the garden for which you wished

Maybe all that was yours perished in the fire

Of your soul and being,

Maybe all that you ever wanted was just ash

And how will you know? What the future holds?

Ashes or remnants of your being.

Water is life, fire is death

Death by drowning or warmth of life

The choice is never ours

Hostile life or terrible death.

Never look far in time

It may mislead you

You can’t change what cannot be changed

Delightful sorrows that are offerings of time.

 

So can the grandeur of the loss

Be repeated? And can

The empty victory be forgone?

Maybe what we really have is the courage of loss.

"Maybe what we really have is the courage of loss. "
Many kind of courage. Sometime silence can be courage. Some words do not make our world better. I like the questions brought to life by your poem. I believe we all look back and wished we were wiser and took different paths. Thank you for outstanding poetry.
