No Surrender – duncancleary

#355/365

Write something each day –

No matter how trite, inane ~

Reasons to go on.

Orchid buds again –

Despite some studied neglect ~

Sleeper awakens.

Decorating tree –

Hour long fight detangling lights ~

Victory is mine.

Been hit hard, again –
Beaten, but not defeated ~
Head down – chin up.

Always, with Death, sure –
Renewal ~ from the same source –
Red Amaryllis.
