Francis Cooper-Mckenzie Poet Free verse

This My Friend

THIS MY FRIEND

This my friend
If you allow it to be,
An overriding factor
That exists inside of each,
Of you,
Of me,
This overriding factor,
Is the still little voice
Which can be either or either?
The voice of encouragement
Or the voice of derision and destruction
So the choice for you my friend
Is for you to allow it to be
For you to have this still little
To carry you along
In hope, glory and happiness,
Or dash you against the rocks
Of hopelessness, grief and sadness,
This my friend
Is your choice
And this my friend
Is if you allow it to be.
