Brave of Soul

Brave of Soul
A Blitz Poem
Brave the elements
Brave the fear
Fear the reaper
Fear the unknown
Unknown soldier
Unknown elements
Elements of chemistry
Elements of nature
Nature of the beast
Nature vs nurture 
Nurture potential
Nurture encouragement
Encouragement pumps you up
Encouragement gets one motivated
Motivated to be bold
Motivated to be valiant
Valiant and courageous
Valiant and audacious
Audacious and spontaneous
Audacious and adventurous
Adventurous and proactive
Adventurous and impulsive
Impulsive tendencies
Impulsive behaviours
Behaviours change
Behaviours change others
Others challenge us
Others challenge us to grow
Grow in ways we could not hope
Grow in ways we could not imagine
Imagine there's no limit
Imagine if you will
Will determines fate
Will you you follow your bliss
Bliss is tantalizing
Bliss makes you elated
Elated like a balloon
Elated not inflated
Inflated ego
Inflated economy
Economy in recession 
Economy of movement
Movement needs a leader
Movement keeps the river fresh
Fresh is best
Fresh is how I feel
Feel it in you soul
Feel the thrill of the brave
Brave
Soul

  1. This makes me think of Cpl Nathan Cirillo who was killed while guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Ottawa this week. I'd like to think I would be so brave, but I don't think I would.

  2. I like how all the different elements are linked by the repeated words.
