Artherese

There is so much
one can't see amidst
the surface, hidden
in plain sight
existing despite
the pep talks --
stifled shouts
alternate routes.

But, beyond the doubts
there is space for 
silver linings, ones
you can control
and loved ones
who're there
every summer & fall

then you rise
not just once
and face battles --
a brave beautiful
albeit invisible
dance.
