Prose Poetry: From Strength to Strength – 28/10/19
There may be times where you feel as though it’s all too difficult to go on. These moments can catch us by surprise, or creep up on us, their bated breath upon our backs, stirring heat upon our shoulders. You know that Defeat is upon you; you are aware that it is there. Any moment now, it can tap our shoulders and say, in a convoluted manner, “Why don’t you give up? You’re never going to succeed anyway, anyhow or anywhere.” And here, my friends, we are presented with a choice, do we revile against these words, thrust these Moments aside, fling them to the past, and walk strong, proud and tall, elegance in our stride? Or do we allow ourselves to crumble, for in moments such as these as this seems the easiest option?
It matters not how we take potential failures, what matters most is how we strive to make ourselves more, make ourselves better. To carry on with courage, and strength with ardour, knowing that to fail is not in itself a failure, but a learning curve. And there may be many opportunities to learn, do not feel defeated because you are faced with these chances to better yourself, because, I for one know, that many mistakes in my life were made, and I have become a better person for acknowledging the failings. In becoming a better person myself, I have succeeded. And for you, just compare your beginning, the middle, the endings, and allow yourselves to know where your story has commenced, and where the opportunity will come for it to restart. For with practice and going from strength to strength, we can achieve and triumph.

Poem: Finding Your Footing – 05/10/19
There may be occasions where you’ve lost your footing,
in fact, many times, possibly.
Where your legs and feet scrabble for a holding,
a firmer footing, to cease the potential of falling deep, deep below.
When your heart is almost in your mouth,
the fear is palatable, tastes of thick iron rust,
the bloodied mess that is your broken organ,
still beating, but a complete and utter mess.
There may be occasions where you slip and fall,
into the abyss of the great unknown,
speaking of darkness and unsureness
and times of great distress and unknowing.
These, my friends, are occasions which enable learning,
where you can take what you will from the putrid or frightening moments,
and make of them something worthwhile,
a learning process where you drag yourselves up
and out of the murky dark.
The strength of character displayed from
when you fall and how you pick ourselves up demonstrates a
certain strong will and determination
that I know you must be proud of possessing.
Because darlings, I know that you can make it
through these pains, these issues,
You’ve done it before,
And you can do it again.
Just listen to your aching heart and plaster it with bandages of courage;
You’ll make it in the end.© 2019 Alice Well Art, Lauren M. Hancock also known as Alice Well. All rights reserved.
