I Walk the Way

A snail's pace and diminished grace, seeking escape from their embrace, down with lost respect, your foray, keep me at bay, erase dismay, before I turn gray, I hope for a better day, I walk the way You say I may have lost it finally, say I am disturbed unusually, does it scare you to see, your warnings and ideas I disagree, say I need to let free, is it my nature to stand like a tree? When You cut my branches and flee, your ignorance and fray, your cocaine my dismay, coat me all you may, before I turn gray, I hope for a better day, I walk the way Upsets you that I don't follow, take your beating and feel hollow, why don't i belong? To your valleys of poison and tag along, can't miss my bus half-long, haven't I waited too long? Your virtues and display, of your vices go astray, I no more pay, to your lust for foray, your direction a cliche`, mock me all you may, before I turn gray, I hope for a better day, I walk the way Do you cry, when I defy? Your limitations and prey, on your brilliance you say, cloud me all you may, like a star I shine from far away, blind me with your way, like a tornado I blow you away, ignore me you say?, like the tides I wash you away, ice me all you may, like a volcano I will melt your bones away, boot me all you may, before I turn gray, I hope for a better day, I walk the way

Some great descriptive lines here. I loved your repeating lines in this one. Well, I THOUGHT It was called Ballywood or Bollywood? It is the special dance from INdia. DO you ever see Amerian dance shows like So You Think You Can Dance? They like to show that type of dancing sometimes and it was also shown on that famous MIllionaire movie from out of India.

I enjoyed reading your poetry this morning Rinki. I will not be reading poetry for a few days as I will be gone from Friday until Monday. I look forward to reading more of your poetry when I return. I wish you a weekend filled with good health, love, and loads of inspiration. Love and Blessings, Carol
