Moments

To heroic hearts when disaster is there
comes a moment of conviction, at length,
to counter with a measure of its strength
the promise of dilemma in the air.
Having honoured the urge to put on earth
but for an instant, only to flit
farther with a push once again as it
rapidly collects itself going forth,
albeit with nothing specific to prove
as friendship conquers the foe, or like dawn
at the prospect of daylight coming on—
suddenly, out of little moments you've
crossed along the rugged road looms, one day,
the prospect of life in a quite new way.
