Day 15: Now of the Future

Hear the words that I speak

You forces of adversity,

Intimidating me with weapons of war;

I am the strength of a worm

Wriggling yet steady flattening toughened structures.

I will yet be the Now of the future.

I am defiant in my quest,

However my soul is oppressed,

Completely persuaded in my request.

The challenges I face

Will churn out my point of grace.

Then I will stand

And, in this place,

Take my spot on a pedestal

Clutching triumph like a mace,

(Everything’s eventual).
