Another Year

I’ve always rode into the wind Just searching for a little taste I know there were so many years Behind Steel bars I went to waste I went without a tender touch Years I spent with no one to hold There is no way to light the fire When everything feels very cold I lost all touch with Mother Earth And everything that I hold dear I longed to hear a tender word As water filled my eyes with tears I could smell your scent in my dreams And see the beauty of your face That’s the pure hell of doing time Facing one more year in this place

Oh hon,,,,,,,,,,you make me cry. And then I sit here and wonder, how many are in that place now. And then I also know that sometimes we live in our own jail that is just as cold. Hugss hon

thank you for your comments on my Poem why Jesus came, the enemy will try anything to steal kill or destroy us, but nothing can seperate us from the Love of God, you are a blessing to us all, I used to have a thing for chocolate that was my comfort and I was hooked on it the more i ate the more I wanted but when I found God he made me whole and complete, your faith will move mountains my dear brother through our Lord Jesus, cnt..

Just think of it as one more year of hell undone through your art. I'm sure you have a lot of memories to tackle from that period. It's ok. It's always ok. (Still waiting on those 'different' poems btw:)

And yet a candle burns for you, for what water can stop these words from setting minds ablaze? Peace and love

Thanks for congratulating my poem, I hold it as an honor because I am so new on poetry soup. Your name reminds me of a great basketball moment, but your words have a more profound rush. I pray another will bloom as spring for you. God bless you

A wonderful write Michael. I can only imagine how you felt in that place, but it's great to know that it is all behind you now and what you missed is now within your reach. God Bless......~Belinda~

Hi Michael this was right from the heart. Thank you for encouraging me on my poems. God is using you for a purpose, we don't always know what it is but you are building people's faith up. Keep praising. Leon

This is a beautiful write, Michael. Your words speak the truth and the bars are not always inside of a building. Some of us build them around our hearts to protect from the hurt on the outside. I love the way you write. You speak so honestly.You are such a strong person to be able to put your life out there. You give many people great hope as you keep your strength and courage floating from the pages of your writing. You help us be free from our own captivity. Smiles from Lolita
