For the longest time

I thought bravery was the absence of fear

the headlong rush

into overwhelming odds

against overwhelming foes

I thought bravery was

the eternity of hope

to eternally prevail

against insurmountable darkness

to accept the unseen

all the while I forgot

that there is bravery

in a falling leaf

in a fallen seed

to be stricken with heat

and battered with rain

to be reborn again

maybe, there is bravery

in surrender
