My Grave Is Dug

My grave is somewhere dug Yet, I know not where But, when I cannot see one foot I know it's there And I stumble Not befallen or from grace From thus a problem or perhaps mistake As a result of choice I did not face Now another must surely make Shall I crumble, further unto darken place Or humble, step right up And change my ways Then, I'll take my life Beyond the wrought of iron gates And into piece of mind Away from grip of fates My grave is somewhere dug Yet, I know not where But, when I can see both feet I know it's yet, to be complete

I love the whole of this poem, but especially the second stanza. It is most haunting, beautifully written and so true of our very human condition. You have an amazing talent and I look forward to reading more of your work.
