Karelian Strength
This is a poem I wrote for Chelsea Chamberlain in response to the death of her boyfriend. I wish her all the best as she slowly recovers from this dark period in her life.
Karelian Strength
By
Foxpiper
With softest fur of black and white,
Roamed a maiden of beauty and might;
Twas she who endured at any length,
By the grace of Karelian strength.
Cursed to grieve for a great lover lost,
Painful bearer of the ultimate cost;
She was left to suffer such emptiness,
No longer feeling his fond caress.
Visions of times past became a blur,
As tears weighed heavily upon her fur;
Alas, was a tragic life worth living,
From cruelest fate most unforgiving?
Despite all the dour hardships and strife,
The young maiden courageously chose life;
Embraced by those whom she held dear,
Hope had a place with everyone near.
Moments of sadness would still persist,
Never forgetting her fair lover missed;
But light would banish the darkness away,
And let her greet the dawning day.
Thus, she wandered with spirit anew,
From stately mountains to the oceans blue;
Going the distance regardless the length,
Bless this girl of Karelian strength.
