Bravery is more than just a word, not trite, for Every man to boast and walk with pompous pride. When caught in tempest stars above go blind, Heat dries the soil no grain to vegetate, all crop to die, And oceans sweep over land in spiteful, savage rush To devastate and turn to waste creations of man’s mind. You stand your ground in Love, be brave, in boundless Ocean Love will show the way where to steer your bark Under the heavenly light, in gale and stormy night. Are you that brave not to forsake and carry love in heart Regardless of all pain and no reward to find? Endure to the end are you prepared for your Love?

About this poem:
My first attempt at an acrostic... Just following the suit ...
marikia, a fine acrostic with several subtle messages. yes, i have heard that the reward for love is the ability of know pain. might be true. you, my friend, are a poet...and more i suspect. ;-)
Oh dear, I must work hard to prove being called a poet, but I wonder how to live up to being even more than a poet?! You are a friend Agoodguy, even more than I suspected. Your poetry makes me sit and wonder for an indefinite time until I make up my mind how to comment, and still I am not quite sure and start thinking over it again. Maybe this is a more desirable response from your readers than just commenting.

A fine acrostic Marikia, with sage comments on current events as well as asking the difficult questions.

A pertinent acrostic Marikia. When all material things are lost and hardship is at every corner...what else can you draw upon but the human spirit.
