~ Perseverance~


Kaleidoscoped images cascade
through tumultuous past,
revealing skies of many hues,
the gamut of emotion spun.

Sometimes
black seems my favorite color,
drawing eyes back into the abyss.

Life halts.

 Re-runs play against black screen of
heated framed mind.
longevity the cornerstone-shielding
me from  jagged edge.

Though the journey is arduous -still
temptation beckons
as bottle remains full.


Such perils have yet to weigh me down.
Perseverance is strength as failure falls,
I welcome it whole with full embrace.

    I loved the first stanza especially, it really made me stop and think, of how our eyes and memories are drawn to those dark events and times. Inspiring perspective on perseverence in spite of such darkness. A wonderful collaboration!

    This is a striking and strong piece the two of you have composed. Virtually seamless in thought.

    I love the Kaleidescope of the past tumbling through thoughts reminding us of what we have already overcome. Well done you two. Line breaks are excellent in this piece adding to your effective use of language.

    Thank you for such a splendid entry and best of luck in the judging. ~Pamela

    yep it's all about hanging in there isn't it? even when we feel we've given up there's some little bit in us that doesn't... and in time that little bit grows
    good luck in the contest
