Follow Me

Follow me. I am the earth. I am the rock that grounds you. I am the support beneath your feet. I am the force. I have your back. Follow me. I am the sea. I am the beast for your burden. I am the liquid that intoxicates you. I am the force. I have your back. Follow me. I am the wind. I am your dreams borne aloft. I am the bearer of your sorrows. I am the force. I have your back. Follow me. I am the fire. I am your deepest desire. I am the heat of love’s heart. I am the force. I have your back. Follow me. I am the spirit. I am the center. I am the lullaby of peace. I am the force. I have your back.

Every stanza is shaped like a hat and I enjoyed trying them all on for size. The final stanza is my favourite but each has its own flair :)

I really, really, really don’t do ‘free verse’ but I love this: quite magnificent, Linda. To echo Tom’s comment… Amen

I really am not fond of 'free verse' either Terry, but as I was writing this, the shape and repetitions formed in my head and this is what popped out. I appreciate you even reading it with your feelings toward the form. I'm honored by your comments! cheers, mate :)

Reads like a prayer Linda, best wishes for the contest. Tom
