serenity


serenity escapes us all
sometimes
and
when it does, it takes
away standard creativity
but from the struggles
within the seeming void
from shadow boxing shadow
come new form, new substance,
new strength
and when one is
in the void
one appreciates
those who support and
encourage
the one who struggles
to become
the one who presses on
to become
the one who comes
through shadow and simile
to substance and serenity.
