Through Fiery Contempt She Rises

Through Fiery Contempt She Rises

She stood amidst the delicate rose petals of velveteen red,
starring wistfully into the reflective waters
of the tranquil moonlit pool,
seeking the illusive magic in which to fortify
her inconsolable essence to its pith,
in order that she might endure, unabashed,
the bane of the exultant spire which
undauntedly impeded her jubilant ascent
through fiery contemptuous disdain
and disparaging treasonous sentiment
meant to humble and demean the
incandescent spark of her steadfast heart.
In introspective contemplation,
she stood in inquisitive question,
wondering how to bring finality
to her untenable situation.
But from the mirror image of
heaven's twilight sky,
sought within the rippling waters
of the enchanted moonlit pool,
there came no reply,
no immediate answer to her desperate query.
So in torpid destitution she turned away
to weather the wily condescension by
exuding innate compassion and genuine love
from the very marrow of her soul,
swearing upon an oath of fervid dissent
to endure, ripen, and maturate
into a transcending spirit of heavenly grace
despite the burden her flesh was forced to bear,
and rise upon wings of illuminating light
to reap the bountiful reward of her venerable sacrifice
and walk among her chosen brethren,
Free at long last.

Sometimes we are forced to endure that which is hard and unpleasant, with no immediate solutions readily at hand, in order to reach a larger goal. It is difficult and can be very painful, but in the end worth every lesson learned when the achievement is at long last reached. So reach high, despite the many boulders on the road and fly free.
