Poem Title:
Poem
I see myself in lines of poetry I've written flying and crawling, laughing and bawling, winning and losing, breathing and dying ~ as a river current meandering where I choose to go moonlight on a cold dark night, casting a soft glow a flower bud patiently waiting to rise above the snow wind whispering the names of loved ones where I flow I see myself in lines of poetry I've written ~ the pursed lips waiting to be kissed and to passion awoken baleful eyes that cry when insensitive words are spoken the fragile heart that is valued as more than just a token a woman abused, but whose spirit has not been broken I see myself in lines of poetry I've written ~ the rendered smile that radiantly appears, unrehearsed a hand gently tending someone who needs to be nursed a warm ray of sunlight beaming, after a sudden cloudburst the words, "I love you," ardently said without being coerced I see myself in lines of poetry I've written ~ the foot avoiding a delicate flower in the crack of a sidewalk a silent prayer when my voice was not strong enough to talk the desperate fish trying to escape from the talons of a hawk a door waiting to open when opportunity comes to knock I see myself in lines of poetry I've written ~ as hope that sometimes flounders about, but is never lost with faith in God, stronger than the erudite, Goethe's Faust in love that is freely given, no matter what price the cost as memories time will never destroy in an attempt to accost I see myself in lines of poetry I've written ~ blue skies turning gray when billowing storm clouds arrive a sweet memory nearly forgotten as it's put in an archive the last withered leaf clinging to its tree, struggling to survive a deep breath taken, hoping it's not the last to keep me alive
