Difficult Times In the Kingdom

There are times that are challenging
There a points when you simply need to push harder
Sometimes things simply refuse to go the way you'd prefer

Such is the way of life

No big deal

Then there are those times, those sorts of situations
Those things that life sets upon your doorstep

That you know could bend you to breaking

The sort of assault upon the kingdom
Of your heart, strength, soul and being
That test and tear and terrorize 

As you defend, wearily

Against the uncontrollable

Outcome pending, to be determined

No, these are not happy times in the kingdom

Still, I'm not alone
I am one of many (many many) of you
Dealing 
Step by step and heartbeat
One breath, one hope
One moment to the next

Sooner or later

All storms pass

All things change
Some for better, some for worse
Some for both

The world IS flat to the view of our eyes
But is, in reality, round

"There Be Dragons" remains as true today
As it was in ancient times.
But there also be sunny fields, calm woods
Better times

Wait....

The only course (as Hannibal once said)
Aut viam invenium, aut faciam
(Is to find a way, a path or to create one)
A path, a way
Around the corners of the earth
Past the dragons

March up the center
Of the uncontrollable times of life

There you have it

So, if I seem more absent than normal
Wing a good hope my way, an email if you like
And I'll be in touch as I'm able

Hugs,

Issy
