Christine Phillips Poet Narrative

The Edge

I  kept running up and down the street greeting all the people that I meet, big smiles wide laughter and a heart that was bolder than the heavens, everyone scream when I hit the stage but there was a sad countenance underneath the glaze, something was going on in their personal lives and I could hear their innate cry, it is the energy that I feel that tells me that life is real but the moment quickly fades away as I walk up and  down the big stage, I  could feel the love transcending  above as it sets the world ablaze and the screams and shouts resonates all over the place.

I knew there was something that I had to do to make my along awaited dream come through, I kept searching for the edge that would open the gap and propel me to the top, it is game that I used to play and it gave me a home run all the way, we had everything but it was too close to win, and I found the magic on the tip of the bat and hit with all the energy that I’ve got, I landed right into the crowd and  the people began to  scream and shout. Something erupt inside and the crowd was rocking from side to side, the ice broke and the crowd began to melt.

The universe suddenly transformed when I told them of my love for America, that was the speech that would make or break and it came just in time to rally the divine, it wasn’t about me it was just about them and the love that I feel when I stand in front of them, I didn’t meant to cry but as I dig deeper tear began to roll from my eyes and for the first time it hit the audience when I told them that money cannot by friend, the place suddenly became quiet and the silence had power, they listened to every word I had to say because I made the speech about them and it moved them. I took it around all seven states and my daddy and my hubby stood by me as crowd reel with emotion.

I knew that it was the final hour for the people to choose and they had nothing to lose so my special speech writer help me to find the edge and I hit the home run at the bend and sweep all seven bases  and  the crowd went wild. Take me to the edge.
