Resilience

Dark omen blights my day

An iceberg in the northern sea
It leaves me reeling
Impacts
Unmistakably

Bounced from wall to wall
Rocked, stunned
Bereft of direction
Enter
Uncertainty

Unwelcome to said intrusion
Finds me deep
In forced reflection
Thinking
Euphemistically

Clawing from the wreckage
Spent, breathless
Somehow lifted
Save
Unknowingly

The human spirit responds
When challenged to the core
Reason provides
Succour, 
Sustainability

What doesn’t kill us
In turn makes us stronger
Life’s struggles abide
In step
Enduringly

Ready to hand trade-offs
Spring to mind
New horizons dazzle beyond
Not
Unsurprisingly
