The Tempest's Triumph : Unbound by Adversity
Upon the morn, when first the light did break
And skies of grey did turn to azure blue,
I stood, a stalwart form upon the ground,
My limbs unshaken, my resolve unbowed.
For I had battled fierce the tempest wild
And emerged victorious, unbroken, proud.
With lightning flashing and winds so loud
I faced the tempest, with nary a shake.
For though the winds did howl and clouds did frown,
I knew that I, victorious, would emerge,
For I am strong, and unafraid, unbound.
And as the dawn did break, I stood tall, proud.
The tempest raged, a force so fierce and proud
But I, with steadfast heart and steadfast gaze,
Did not falter, did not bend, did not shake.
For I am made of stronger stuff, unbound
By mortal fears, and ready for the fight,
As dawn did break, and I emerged victorious.
And as the tempest passed and skies cleared,
I stood, victorious, a sight to behold,
With head held high and spirit unbroken, proud.
For I had conquered all, and emerged unbound,
A shining light in darkness, a beacon bright,
Unshaken by the tempest's fearsome shake.
For though the tempest may rage and shake
And all around me falter, I will stand,
Victorious, unbroken, and unbound,
With head held high and spirit fiercely proud,
For I am strong, and I will always emerge,
A conqueror at dawn, a sight to behold.
And as the dawn did break, and skies cleared,
I stood, victorious, unbroken, unbound,
With head held high, and spirit fiercely proud,
For I had faced the tempest and emerged,
Unshaken by its rage, a sight to behold,
A conqueror, unbroken by its shake.
About this poem
This poem presents a powerful image of overcoming adversity and emerging victorious. The use of complex Elizabethan English vocabulary adds a sense of grandeur and nobility to the speaker's actions, as they stand tall and unbroken after facing the tempest. The repetition of the phrase "unbroken" and words such as "stalwart" and "fiercely" further emphasizes the speaker's strength and determination. Additionally, the imagery of the tempest and dawn breaking serves as a metaphor for overcoming challenges and emerging victorious. more »
