We Persist

Let's work our way
to the eye of the storm
that blew in like a whirlwind
of unmatched ferocity...

Surrounded on all sides
by swirling walls of external turmoil
we can rest and get our bearings
if we stop fighting friction conflicts

Bend with the breeze
that seeks to rip us apart
and it will if we let it
cause we're ill equipped
to battle these forces head on...

Fortunately such adversaries
of high intensity
do tend to dissipate rapidly...

Unlike us who roll slow and steady...

Survivors of many a hard grind...

We'll still be around
long after this challenge
has blown through...

It's what we survivors do...
