Resilence By Sue Ellson https://sueellson.com/blog/resilience As each challenge appears I can push past my fears To resist the damage To recover from ravage The pain The conflict The strain The relic Of memory Of time Of wishing Of mine Surprised to be confronted Alone in my past Surprised to be confounded Again in my cast But just as the broken bone Mends itself in time I can release the plaster And emerge just fine The process starts The process goes The process ends The process flows Dynamic In tune Repeated So soon Mystified When I rise Released Revived Ready to strive Now resilient Now competent Now content With what will be With what I’ll see And how I’ll be In my story A dear friend of mine is currently studying the topic of resilience and she gave me some words related to resilience, including ecologies (the ability to resist damage and recover quickly), process, surprise, approaches and dynamic. These were incorporated into the poem above. I hope that this poem resonates with you if you need a little extra resilience right now. With love, Sue Ellson :) #resiliencepoem #resiliencepoetry #sueellson #sueellsonpoem #poem #poetry
