spiritual reflections

∴
in the forge of existence
i hone my teeth
each trial a grindstone for my resolve
with decisive vigor
i extend my claws rendering obstacles
as lightning cleaves the sky
amid the tumult, i unearth lush serenity
for it dwells within, wherever i tread
guided by unyielding will
roaring with thunderous determination
in every step impermanence i see
a constant revelation
