Poem: Courage

Courage is something we don't always feel like we have. However, if we look around us, at nature and people in our lives, we realise that courage is always with us. I wrote this for myself and feel compelled to share it more widely.

Courage.

It started small,

Like a tiny ripple on a glassy lake,

Like a slender petal soon to unfurl into a vibrant blossom,

Like the first whisper of cool air announcing winter's coming embrace,

Like an amber arrow of light paving the sunrises way.

And then it grew,

Like a smile spreading into a chuckle before erupting into laughter,

Like a wave graciously building to a tremendous crescendo before tumbling into a frothy mass of bubbles,

Like the innumerable grains of sand that are gradually swept into a wondrous dune,

Like a deluge of rain miraculously transforming fields from crispy golden to verdant green.

It was called courage and it always remained.
