Jagged Edges

I had once walk this earth naked and broken
                                           With my eyes I could not see
                                           Finding a vein in my heart with the pulse of life
                                           I no longer walk in the way of deceit
                                           I was drifted to the jagged edges of my world
                                           and the earth taking from under my feet
                                           Arrows of truth killed my sorrow
                                           Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is to come, and
                                           today I'm at peace.

Amen. And, all we ever really have is NOW anyway ... smile ... all the rest is an illusion of our wonderfully imaginative minds ... LOL ... so glad you're at the Soup, Jay!!

I like the reflectiveness of this poem. It's very interesting how one is able to find wonderful things to reflect on. I like the essence of the poem and the message. Great job! ~Joseph

I am digging this write a lot because it speaks of life and its trouble, and how we can move on and not live with our pass failures. You have a wonderful job.
