Courage Poem by Enyinwa Okechukwu Enyinwa

Courage

Rating: 5.0


Courage


Let our misfortune be a 
runing water!

Our courage borrow
a lava from the wild
Volcano even though
some of our rivers are destined to flow
after we have gone.

We made life precious
we can also turn death
into diamonds, if only
we can let our soul be
a wind far from the eyes
of men.

Yes, misfortune should pass by and red hot lava brilliantly describes courage. Gr8 imagery.

running (and in profile april) Do you want our soul or our souls to be a wind.... To stay in a pure way is not to live. Well get hurt, damage and damaged. If you love you learn how to cry If you hate you need love if you keep hating forgiveness. If you kill only the Mighty can help you. But diamonds are the eye of all that shines made evil. Yes you need courage to face life in all it's facets. You need courage to stay open and aware You need courage to love yourself and others who else will feed the seeds of a good sawer.

Fight is like lava, soul is like the wind, the ideas are rivers and death is like a diamond, when you are courageous-well expressed poem-thank you..
