Courage

Poem

Courage

Sometimes
It takes courage
More than we know
To keep walking and breathing 
Through nefarious grief
Lost in the rubble of
Unthinkable anguish
Disbelief and despair
Weigh on delicate flowers
Still under pressure
Lies a reason for living
Flattened rose
Between parchment becomes
Pressed souvenir
Courage waits calmly
Through dark days of winter
Touches pressed flower            
Anticipates spring.

Susan Reuling Furness 
Layers of Possibility 
Healing Poetry from The National Association of Poetry Therapy Members.
Palabras Press, Calgary, Alberta, 2007
