I Could Never Have Reached the Moon

I could never have reached the moon,
Looking at the stardust of the past.

I seemed to have been bounced from wall to wall.
However,I lived all my life as each day was my last!

Some people wanted me, to a conformist be?
That idea so offensive, please I begged, pour hot oil on me!

I fought so many fights, just to stay alive.
And fought for the lives of all my soul sisters and soul brothers,
So they indeed would thrive!

Even today, I will fight because evil is everywhere.
And, I better stop quelling on my being insignificantly, popular.

And on my sore knees do I fall!
No moaning nor weeping about my past..
Thanking my God for His cornucopia of His all.

Just speaking out and doing my best!
Till my very warm last breath...
For to me, that is the only real test!

Caren Krutsinger Date: 10/4/2019 2:05:00 AM I have no idea how Line inspired this poem, but I know Line and her poetry could inspire all of us. I am sure she is thrilled. Lovely write! So delicately done. Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 10/4/2019 5:35:00 AM Caren, I forgot specifically how she did. It was through one of her poems. Line is love and softness.))) Thank you for commenting. Panagiota oxox

David Mchattie Date: 10/1/2019 8:47:00 PM I have always thought when after we pass... we are asked one thing... 'What have you learned? Be yourself and keep up the good fight my friend. Have a great day. Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 10/2/2019 7:15:00 AM Ah, David! As far as I know, we are held accountable for how we lived our lives. That's Humungus! My answer to your one question...is I have done my best to follow God's laws, not the rules or expectations of man! Panagiotaxxx

Line Gauthier Date: 10/1/2019 4:25:00 PM Wow I don't know how I inspired this gem... but I'm glad I did. It's wonderful when that happens, Panagiota. Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 10/2/2019 7:07:00 AM I don't either but one of your Poems flipped the switch Panagiota xxx

Andrea Dietrich Date: 10/1/2019 3:10:00 PM this is the kind of poem I think Richard would like very much Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 10/1/2019 3:20:00 PM I don't know. He rarely comments to my Poetry. My cat says hello...... Panagiota

Andrea Dietrich Date: 10/1/2019 3:09:00 PM yes, I know you are this kind of person , a fighter and a non-conformist. You were very well inspired by Line. I bet if you took just one line of richard's broken People poem and inserted it into this poem, with a line from one of your other poems, this would work so well in the contest richard L is sponsoring. Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 2/15/2020 2:08:00 PM Andrea...I don't feel broken. I was once upon a moon 50 years ago. Not anymore. I feel I am a Poet in my own small way. Not great, just me. I don't want to impress anyone. People are stronger than they think! Panagiota xx, I don't want to be a winner here. Just me!! Panagiota Romios Date: 10/1/2019 3:18:00 PM Andrea will look later.. Thank you. Panagiota xxx

Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 10/1/2019 1:52:00 PM - Be yourself, Panagiota - Concerns are something most people have daily ... we have no need to "reach the moon" - Choose to live in a way that makes YOU happy - All the little choices we make today, and the rest of our lives, is very important ... to enjoy life :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 10/1/2019 2:16:00 PM Ihave always been myself which does not make one popular.-))) I stated so in the poem. I agree all choices count. And I had to make profound ones. Had I not, my life would have been ashambles! I need to write a biography. Sometimes i am weak at getting my point across. The title of this is confusing, I think. I don't want to be the pile of the heap. Who cares? I wanted to reach all my dreams and I have is all I meant. It required me to take unpopular stands. With God's help, it was done Love, Panagiotaxxx
