Fortitude
I perpetually yearn for the wilderness
The gentle song of the forest swaddles me securely
Offering familiar comfort formed by an ageless bond
Dependable and ever-transforming
Simultaneously ancient and young
Stirring embers of life within
Igniting a flame of passion
Cementing a zealous intention
For too long I had lost my way
Suffocating in a paved paradise
The flame dwindling rapidly
Destiny faltering on a compromised foundation
My resolve grew weak
The flame remains
Home again
In these woods I dearly love
Surrounded by vitality and splendor
A roaring river surges through my soul
The mountain breeze gently fans embers within
Urging my flame to blaze brightly
Radiating power
And fortitude
Though I grow weary
Battered and worn down at times
I may wallow a bit
Yet my resolve is fortified
Weakness becomes a great strength
Surrender is rendered obsolete
