I Charge Forward

Of all the stark occurrences, I climb upon the edge of purpose I rest on the brink of its madness And breathe in the burn Of what can possibly be an imminent fall Or a profound awakening I see— I charge forward July 1, 2017

Laura, I have been busy with work...totally drained by it since I have to communicate, consider, and write constantly. So forgive the absence please. I like the way you put this. It's edgy and has great contrast. I love seeing poetry like this and appreciate the opportunity to read it. Thanks for posting.

Climb on the edge of purpose, love that line, and the rest...obviously!

Thanks Cary. I had written it in my notebook last summer, and I guess I forgot about it! :) Glad you liked it! <3 ~Laura
