Fires of Resilience

A Superhuman's Flight through Loss

By Kelly Munala BrookesPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
The Man with the Blue Lightning

In the realm of skies, a firefly soared,

A man with powers, his essence adored.

He flew with grace, like the stars aligned,

Brave and kind, a hero defined.

Through the tapestry of the cosmic night,

He embraced his gift, a celestial light.

Burning bright with a heart so pure,

A superhuman soul, courage to endure.

Yet, beneath the cloak of the infinite blue,

Lies a tale of loss, a narrative true.

His parents departed, shadows in the past,

Their memory a beacon, forever to last.

Undeterred by the storms that life would weave,

He wielded kindness, a power to believe.

With every flight, a healing balm,

In his fiery eyes, a soothing calm.

In the arms of love, he found his haven,

A companion, a wife, their bond unshaken.

But destiny weaves its intricate thread,

A cruel design, where tears are shed.

As shadows loom, and fate takes its toll,

He faces a tempest, a relentless stroll.

With his fiery eyes ablaze with sorrow,

He confronts a future, uncertain tomorrow.

Yet, with a heart that refuses to break,

He soars through grief, a turbulent lake.

In the fierce shadow he casts on the earth,

A symbol of resilience, of rebirth.

Tearing down the earth into fragments, small,

He reconstructs hope, a celestial call.

For in every tear, in each shattered piece,

Lies the strength of a soul that will never cease.

A man with powers, a firefly's flight,

Through loss and pain, he conquers the night.

In the fiercest of shadows, the brightest sparks,

A superhuman spirit leaves its marks.
