At The Precipice
/We gird our loins
And take the field
Chin up, fists on hips
Facing the onslaught
And when tragedy strikes
Bow
But do not break
Though our hearts be sundered
Our limbs twisted and bruised
Faith itself challenged
‘Tis said
“What does not kill us
“Makes us stronger”
But in truth it is how we respond
To the lowest point of our being
That begins our renewal
Or our inevitable decline
Oh! We shall be changed!
But the question is:
When at the precipice
Do we plummet in despair?
Or soar in exultation?
Whether circumstance
(or, rather, our reaction to it)
Shall enslave us?
Or set us free?
Either way takes us beyond
But the choice
Is ours
