Solace Bathing

To immerse into warm waters of solace

Is to accept trouble

As managed obstructions

Often but figments of imagination

Even as real objects of matter and breath

Suggest an impassible future.

To place ponderance beside the comfort of courage

Is to understand one has compatibility

Even as dark attempts to rule light

Even when all seems out of control

When determinization is daunting

When choice is made fearful

And willingness to fail

Becomes one’s lesson to learn.
