Courage is Silent

I sailed upon a distant cloud

in a dream which had captured me

I woke so far from where I slept

and all that I could see

A women still and proud

stood perched upon a height

And though I knew it dream

I watched from there her flight

She stepped with sure abandon

and I could hear her call

A wind to gather 'neath her wings

and a promise not to fall

I gazed upon her silent flight

but, all that I could hear

The sound of crashing far below

on rocks that caught her fear

In time, my dream was spent

and all would disappear

As did the very high place

that crumbled with her fear

It was a silent victory

It is so much the way

The greatest of our victories

live inward on display.
