walking wounded

 It's very hard to see beyond the horizon. 

The prospects are so uncertain 

We cannot feel anything but anxiety.

Many rose to the test


And for the first time their lives have  

Cast their lot on hope itself.

But it seemed that in spite of everything

Still fell short of victory 

Against the monsters that lay siege.

We are walking wounded but not fallen.

Tired but not lifeless.

Today we limp 

Knowing that in time we will heal

And with enough perseverance

We can emerge strong and organized

And able to seize the day.
