Poem Title:
Poem
Bowing down for this subtle borrow in trade, My head just pounds with an ache just throbbing away. My thoughts gathered and crunched with a million bits and pieces of the obvious. But lots of unnoticed empty space! You are there and I am here. Calculating, analyzing and specifying such fine details that are completely misplaced. Never bending and never-ending our minds spin wheels like bulked bails of rolling hay. If I shouldn’t, then I couldn’t, and if I couldn’t, then I wouldn’t. But I’d never say that I didn’t outrun that race. Angled in time leaning straight forward with those hands turning mine, I’m catching up to our dawning of today. The Sun has risen above our dark blanketed night. Taking the shadows that linger with my soul’s final debate, The Moon stands corner-stoned guarding glares that glow over darkness, Veiling off your sights that radiate! You say this and I say that. But a compromise is far from this archer’s perfect aim targeting at my hindsight. You’re always right, But so am I justifying boundaries to your realistic reasoning for my analyzed why. Following you, following me, We are all that we will ever be. My night becomes the next day and your day becomes the next night. Like spinning merciless on a merry-go-round, My own mind has to question the who, what, and where am I. Challenged by my own self-defeat, I’m corner-stoned with so many of those that have lost to a forgotten lie. Defeated by my own self-lack to compete, You’re corner-stoned with so many years of albeit, So I’ll defy and you justify! ® Registered: Ann Rich 2002
