Survival

 Life is short moves so fast
In moments of slumber leaps,
Everything bought together
Thoughts flying free,
Sailing the seas of time
Carrying a mighty love,
Lamps of resistance
Following free birds on earth,
Releasing defiant cries
Light found in the dark.
Laying with all the hope

We have managed to save,

Allowing impalpable imaginings

To work their magic and become real,

As our journeys continue unbroken
We leave behind traces of struggle,
Evidence of battles fought and won
Stories of endurance, pain and survival,
Moving forward unbowed, unbeaten
Keeping hopeful, steadfast and strong,

Beyond  rage and tears falling from within

Escape the torrents of life, filled to the brim, 

Let your spirits guide you forwards

Let them unlock your locks and chains,

Follow Autumn’s  shapes and hues

Don't  give in to forces of despair.
