Resilience, 
a quiet strength, 
an unseen armor forged in fire. 
 
Adversity, the storm, 
the unrelenting rain, 
the winds that threaten to uproot, 
to scatter dreams like fallen leaves. 
 
But within, a seed persists, 
a refusal to surrender, 
a belief in the sun that waits 
behind the darkest clouds. 
 
The artist’s hand, 
trembling perhaps, 
but still reaching for the brush, 
for the pen, 
for the instrument, 
for the clay that yields to form. 
 
Stories etched in struggle, 
Vincent, deafened by silence, 
yet painting a symphony of stars. 
Frida, broken and bound, 
birthing masterpieces from pain. 
 
They stumbled, they fell, 
doubt whispered insidious lies, 
but the heart, that stubborn engine, 
refused to be silenced. 
 
Perseverance, a slow burn, 
a relentless tide, 
wearing away the rocks of despair. 
 
Tenacity, the unwavering gaze, 
fixed on a distant shore, 
a promised land of creation. 
 
It’s not the absence of fear, 
but the courage to face it, 
to dance with it, 
to transform it into something beautiful, 
something raw, something true. 
 
The key is not in avoiding the storm, 
but in learning to navigate it, 
to find the compass within, 
to know that even in the deepest night, 
dawn will eventually break, 
and the colors will return, 
brighter than before, 
painted with the resilience 
of the human spirit.
