BRAVERY

For the longest time

I thought bravery was the absence of fear

the headlong rush

into overwhelming odds

against overwhelming foes

I thought bravery was

the eternity of hope

to eternally prevail

against insurmountable darkness

to accept the unseen

all the while I forgot

that there is bravery

in a falling leaf

in a fallen seed

to be stricken with heat

and battered with rain

to be reborn again

maybe, there is bravery

in surrender

yeah.... and its the kind of bravery na mas mahirap makita and ma-admit than yung typical ones..

wow josh! this one is really nice. so true... sometimes to surrender is the harder struggle kasi it's overcoming yourself.
