The Weak Survive, Too

They told him, “just the strong survive.”
But he does not believe that, much —
A type of mere tautology
Because strength is defined as such

For he’s known weakness, indolence,
The need for frequent healing —
But he survives ’cause he’s refused
To ever give up
Feeling

Cannot Stop

He cannot stop the wind that blows,
He could not stop the rain;
He cannot stop the way time flows
And bring her back again

But he can see her in his mind –
An early summer day –
He cannot bring her back, but she
Will never go
Away
