Resolute.
Courage
To return
To the place in the sun,
The place we loved together.

Resolution.
To learn to live my life
Even with
The death of you.

So strong I am
To gaze at the coast of Africa
Without you.

So proud
To be resolved.

I seek resolution
At the side of the road
In a field of poppies,
Castle upon a hill.

My vain courage
Confronted
With the sin
Of bravado.

My fairy tale resolution,
Stands uncovered
In a field of poppies,

The deception of myself,
The bitter smile.
