Bold And Beautiful

A Journey Of Strength

By zulfi buxPublished about a year ago 1 min read

I'm striking, I'm lovely,

In a world that is huge and wide.

With each step, I rise once more,

It that is inside to Embrace all.

My heart is savage, my will is steel,

I cut my way in stone.

Through storms, I sail with beauty and may,

No trepidation to walk alone.

The sun and moon they light my direction,

Their murmurs in the breeze.

I take the examples life gives,

Also, wear them on my skin.

In the quiet of the evening,

Where shadows set out to crawl,

I get comfortable with myself, a tune of trust,

A commitment I will keep.

For in my chest, a fire consumes,

Immovable and untamed.

I'm strong, I'm delightful, I rise,

With enthusiasm in my name.

I'll confront the mountains tall and cold,

Also, swim through streams profound.

No chains can tie this taking off soul,

No restrictions that I keep.

In each scar, in each fall,

A story is uncovered.

Each imprint upon this bold heart,

A confirmation, my safeguard.

So let the world bring what it might,

I'll welcome it cheerfully.

For I'm striking, and I'm solid,

I walk all my miles.

I'm strong, I'm wonderful, that is who I'm,

A fire against the evening.

I convey strength inside my spirit,

Also, burst with interminable light.

Through each fantasy, through each trepidation,

I guarantee how's affected me.

Striking and lovely, I stand,

Always wild and free.

    Beautiful. I love the fire image of the sun behind the lioness, then how you added the cooling of the water as I scroll down your writing. I love this idea you came up with, outlining the qualities of the lioness and assigning each one to ourselves, this was very wise, thought provoking and inspiring. I haven’t forgotten your story Shopping Spree on the second page, I’ve included it under the Raise Your Voice Thread. Keep up the good work I absolutely love what you do Zulfi.
