The Defiants
Maybe the storm was the way...
Stubborn or passionate,
masters of defying the odds,
they carve their path in stone,
not afraid of making a mistake.
Brave enough to see a storm,
stand unshaken,
and call it home.
They’re so quiet,
it’s as if they’re listening to something the rest of us can’t hear
a deeper voice,
a rhythm beneath the noise.
I don’t know their secret.
Whatever they carry inside
is greater than what stands against them.
The only thing they shared with me was this:
They must love life,
to fight so hard.
