Cathy Moore Poet Ghazal

Life

You sought me out

       Peeled me back like a sapling

       Devoured my every tiny morsel

       Encrypted my direction

       Exposed me to the elements 

       You released me into the desolate wastelands

       Condemned to walk alone

       Swollen with the shame from their mockery

       Tormented by the hunter & the hunted

       Just when I thought that was it

       You said this is your LIFE.... LIVE IT!!
