Lead Me

Blustery winds blow strong at the base of the oak hidden behind broken branches I try to stand Amongst doubts and apprehension added conflicts with confusion trying hard to understand where I am Heart wide open with eyes planted firmly on the ground hands reaching out for salvation take this man With a slight pull from the winter moon and letting of feelings flow again hope reaches out slowly to lead me into her arms

So often I am standing right there... then I turn, or find... One day I wrote a poem not similar, but it reminds me... http://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/not_anymore_825518

This poem is just so bare. Your soul is bare. Your heart is bare. You must be cold standing there. Here's hoping she's hot.

Wow, Tim. I think the 3rd to last line may have one too many 'ings' - one that you didn't intend, but that did not deter the talent from showing in any way. This is deep, laden with meaning and emotion, delivered with creative imagery. It is impressive and a mighty, mighty fine poem ... CayCay
