The seas I transit, under sail. <br />Highways and byways I journey. <br />Calm or direct, may not always be. <br />Every step, every mile I am tested. <br /> <br />Whether pursued, by dark n’ wild gale, <br />or striding, twisted, treacherous path. <br />Times I feel as quarry hunted, <br />seeking the solace, of any safe haven. <br /> <br />To conquer agonizing strife, by victory. <br />Laughing loud, in the face of tempest. <br />Thwarting failure, no quarter given. <br />Toppling defiant adversity, my tenacity intensified. <br /> <br />Compensation, for determined perseverance. <br />Light seas, with following breeze, <br />roadway void, of confrontation. <br />Radiant light to reveal, disguised pitfall. <br /> <br />25June08<br /><br />Kurt Hearth<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/perseverance-13/
