Misfortunes can be intense <br />In the hour of sadness, <br />But even earthquake ravages <br />Get rebuilt until a skyline <br />Is majestic again <br />With incredible architecture. <br /> <br />The way of humanity <br />Is to outdistance the trivial, <br />And to endure the heart rending <br />And miserable <br />Because healing is inevitable <br />And redeeming. <br /> <br />I have viewed the sun at sunset <br />For a moment hanging more beautifully <br />Than a painting in the Louvre <br />And my soul was awed.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/healing-endurance/
