Overcoming Defeat Poem by Theresa Ann Moore

The day is short with hours planned…
places to be and things to do
Elected by proxy to take the wheel...
searching for a map to give a clue

Clouds are gathering creating cover
Graying purpose… blocking the sun
Dense humid air is creating a huge bubble
My thoughts trapped before they've begun

Guided by glazed eyes with cosmetic appeal
Discovering a sliver of light and transparency…
Arriving at a destination that is reserved
for those who seek with trust… and believe

With a shallow breath… observing the view
Listening and hearing silent applause…
A journey completed that once was impossible
Firmly standing… defying Murphy's Law
