In a world of contrasts

We root ourselves

Plant our feet

And cling to the peace

We long to find ~

While the skies rage

Pouring over us

Testing our mettle

And muddying our view ~

But the storm will pass

And the path will clear

As we stand fast

In our truth

Unbowed ~

We remain unbroken

No matter the rage

We withstand

The lies that cloud the world ~

Overlooked strength

And unstoppable power – Caroline A. Slee
