Poem of the Day: "Perseverance"

I am tired.

Tired like the sea 

After a hurricane.

Tired like purple cumulus 

That have carried rain for too long.

Tired like the bottom-most rocks

That hold up the mountain.

But I cannot rest.

The sea cannot stop rolling and waving,

Even after the storm.

The clouds cannot drop from the sky

To rest their weary arms.

The rocks cannot stop toiling

And let the mountain crumble to the ground.

And so, we go on.

The world is held together by the tired ones

Who go on.
