Undaunted



What is it that unites,
that pushes frontiers,
and turns colorless void
into a purpose upheld by light?
What is it that inspires,
that captures despair,
and gives wings to hope,
replete with the promise of healing?

What propels vision to awake,
and stirs hearts with courage?
What bears nobility, honor, worth,
and ideas that sparkle with love?

They stand united-- not in bodies but in Spirit.
They hold on-- expanded-- not to fear but to Truth.
They speak-- empowered--
not of a lost world but of a new-found freedom.
