Melody of Perseverance: A Sonnet
Amidst the toil and tribulation of life
A lament doth oft resound within the soul
A vexation, born of struggles and of strife
That leaves one feeling lost and all alone
But there is yet a way to find reprieve
A method of perseverance and grace
To dance in symphony, to truly live
And find within oneself a hidden space
Where buoyancy and hope doth ever bloom
And all the troubles of this mortal coil
Are but a fleeting shadow in the gloom
That in the end shall fade, and leave us whole
So let us find our own melodic theme
And dance to it, in joy and harmony supreme.
