Caroline Cécile Delacroix Poet Choka

Toss To the Wind

Before the burden
Becomes too heavy to bear
Toss it to the wind
Do not let it win
Don't let it turn weakened heart
To cold apathy.

Before the sorrow
Brings you to somber burrow
Toss it to the wind
Do not let it win
Don't let it turn weakened heart
To cold apathy.

Before the anger
Turns your soul to ice, frozen
Toss it to the wind
Do not let it win
Don't let it turn weakened heart
To cold apathy.

If the grip of fear
Swallows the hope of your dreams
Toss it to the wind
Do not let it win
Don't let it turn weakened heart
To cold apathy.
 
Before wicked vice
Tries to destroy you inside
Toss it to the wind
Do not let it win
Don't let it turn weakened heart
To cold apathy.

Matthew Anish July 15, 2011 at 7:37 PM I seems to me that this poem is advocating a "stoic" philosiphy in a very fascinating way. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish
