Original Submission by Kevin Jacob Reguel

Resilience

I know not where I go,

Doors close, flowers bloom

The path always grows

Spirit like water, many forms I shall assume;

The dim moon, the tidal backflow

Waning spirit questions hopes in dreams A soul strives, will remains steadfast Insecure in strength yet a durable cocoon;

Roots of the trees against the fierce winds Despair in turmoil yet joy sustains the wind Fruit undetermined as plans unfold

Strive by surviving, hope by aspiring;

Blooming flowers, sparky spirits

Euphoric mind creates unbridled peril Reputation feels often unfair, is joy undeserved? Stoic mind often curtails doom
