Purpose meets endurance: A poem 

The tributaries: purpose meets endurance 

like two swimmers in courage’s brilliance 

No sun squints us, we have fists clenched 

The swimmers are wet, but never drenched 

I sniff at the strength, trace the long length 

The lyric is all over: future, past and present 

We have a distance, but the bridge is prescience 

You have me covered; there’s presence in your absence 

Our world is not a pack of cards dangling on chance 

I seize every moment, and tomorrow in advance 

In this fateful journey, intrigue meets reason 

On my coat of arms, unicorn meets lion 

We sow in the valley, harvest on the mountain 

Destiny is the source, the end and the fountain 

A battle of abstracts, where friends may be muted 

in the celebration by enemies, until they are refuted

I think it is a spiritual experience, my doctors think otherwise. I am a deeply spiritual person and keep having experiences with otherworldly realms.
