Strength

Asleep,
we’ve been asleep
most of our lives.
We dream of other,
better selves
and ignore our
weak wills, we
withhold love,
cling to the security
of past hurts.

Gifted,
we have been given gifts
unique to human beings,
so why is it that so many
choose to shun strength?
A reliable characteristic,
the peace it can bring.
It is after all,
In the knowing.

"There's strength in wisdom"... or was that "There's wisdom in strength"?... either way... You've got it, my friend..

Thanks, sweet poet friend.
