Change

Mend the life set before me--
                       change can be good, a fresh start
Call a repairmen, it is salvageable--
                       Sever the old ties, new and improved!

Struggles come and go, inner turmoil stagnant this life
               Struggles between good and evil
Self improvement desired but laziness overcomes
               Spirit of a warrior and muscles of a powder-puff

Change, change, CHANGE!!!

Never was good enough anyway. 

Big ideas, that won't come to fruition.

Pain and weakness are your closest friend, closer than a brother.
Death creeps vermicular upon us all.

Continue to walk the road less traveled until the journey's end.

David Smalling December 28, 2010 at 2:01 PM What is important, Doris, is that we sing to that end ... for we poets may be lazy because the flesh offers us a frail comfort zone, but, yes, we are warriors of the spirit, changing the world with our words. All the best to you, have a happy new year, my friend.
