Uncertainties

I swam in a river of uncertainties,
as Mr moon gave me his back.
Somber dreams caress my skin,
the light within my eyes is dark.
On my last trip to the milky way,
I was sad, because it had melted.

"Uncertainties" ... certainly are a part of life. However, facing them with a positive outlook, will help you get through them, so much easier. I am so happy that this older poem has been recognized, Alexis. Congratulations on Poem of the day. Many wonderful blessings to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Amazing, Alexis. How often do you travel to the Milky Way, anyway?! Can I come with one time? ... Just don't want to melt, ok? ... Congrats on POTD, my friend. Season's best, Gershon

I'm so happy for you, Alexis. Our earlier poems deserve to be dusted off and reposted. So many on site now have never read those 'oldie but goodie' creations. Congrats to you on this one!

WoW! Everyone, I am in total shock that this oldie got poem of the day. It got p.o.t.d when I first wrote it nearly three years ago. Milt told me about the blog Gary Radice wrote about reposting old poems, I did and this is what happened. Getting the poem of the day for the same poem is such a good feeling. I am humbled by it. Thanks to all that commented on it. Have a wonderful weekend:-) Alexis

WoW! Tom, This is a old poem I wrote nearly three years ago. Gary Radice wrote a blog about reposting old poems( Milt told me about it). I got p.o.t.d. in Feb of 2019. You were the first to say congrats then and the first to say congrats today. I appreciate your continued support. Have a great weekend:-) Alexis
