I look it up and find courage
To be a marriage of
What is in the heart
With what is in the mind...
Over time,
This has come to mean
Bravery--
Acting despite fear,
And so calming the troubled heart
At every cost.
Really.
But I go back to the dictionary
And find more:
When the heart unites with
Wrath, pride, confidence, lustiness--
That is courage, too.
But who understands it this way?
Really.
Lustiness?
Courage:
The breath and pulse of
The soul.
Call it a marriage if you want.
It is courage.
