All that talk of ‘becoming a diamond’
whilst enduring the crush
doesn’t feel so nice
when my bones crunch like crushed ice
All those wise sayings of ‘patience
being a virtue’
and ‘faith laced with hope’
being the ‘blah-blah’ to help me cope
Well….well…it seems to have worked its
magic on me!
I grin as I flex new thought muscles buried in my head
I giggle as I try out my new wings of hope
and I take a stand
with this new veil of faith

Trinkets and armour 6- Don’t be an Ass(usmer)
In this episode of Trinkets and armour, Magaly has given us 2 choices of a write. I’ve decided to pen a poem on one of them: “how you ready yourself before facing known (or unknown) troubles”

So glad she waited for those wings. But most veils are symbolic and not a good hiding place, in actuality they are you see me, I see you.

Faith and hope are unstable when we work hard for what we need (want). I’ve always been one of those people who sort of annoy other people, lol, with my talks of what does’t kill you makes you stronger or at least makes you mad enough to kick the heck of whoever is trying to stop you. So… yep, this one speak to me. Veiled faith is not blind, just hope that knows that things might not be easy most of the time.

Speaking to my heart again, V! Was actually just thinking of these very words a few seconds before I saw your post.
