The Invincible Sun
Broken and rebuilt,
Through a thousand lives,
Only then have I found
The perennial sun,
The glow within me
That which never wavers
Through the brutal tests of time
Harshness, confusion, and circumstance
But a wise man puts it fitter than I:
In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love.
In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile.
In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm.
I realized, through it all, that…
In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.
