courage
Posted by jodietonita on April 28, 2008
Courage is the price which life exacts for granting peace.
The soul that knows it not, knows no release.
From little things:
Knows not the livid loneliness of fear
Nor mountain heights, where bitter joy can hear
The sound of wings.
How can life grant us boon of living, compensate
For dull gray ugliness and pregnant hate
Unless we dare
The soul’s dominion? Each time we make a choice we pay
With courage to behold resistless day
And count it fair.
