It has a musty stinch
permeating the air like
fog
diffusing its odor as it passed
I held my breath...
wondering
will it ever dissapate?
I knew there had to be something
to rid this repugnant odor
I researched deep, I found answers
Like courage
and determination, patience
and endurance, most of all
prayer
although resistant
it finally moved on...
on to another place and time.
I cleared the air slightly
with the solutions of old
Although the odor is subtle
it still lingers on...
...it still lingers on
Keep faith alive!
