Courage
Your asking me to have or take
on an island so far away.
It's not a thing or possession
that will keep me safe.
Courage.
Courage defines the sane from flawed.
Defines the satiated/gnawed.
Defines hope from despair and
smoke from air.
God help me maintain my courage
should a fate be mine.
Far away in a land juxtaposed sublime.
Courage decides survival from flourish
be it sane or decay.
Courage.
