Best Treading Poems

The tides come and go, as the moon says hello and goodbye.
The water rises and falls, as the sun comes to live and die.
She just treads on, drifting through the sea.
She just treads on, for weak she cannot be.
The sting of her betrayal brings tears...

I have been treading the water of the universe
For 15,845 days
Head slightly above the water
Arms and legs in a frantic dance for survival

You can tell yourself that at some point you will stop
There must be a stopping point, right?
The time to float seems like a...

The heaven they preach
Is no haven to man but hell, 
Their tongues sweeter than honey
Who can resist the melody
When they paint their world to taste in rainbow colors
Singing glory glory glory
Preaching the word according to their world

One-heart less
Astute in their chicanery, they have a face
Colorfully...

My flesh is screaming,

if the cancer is me,

Then cut me out

and set me free.

No more to endure

The sight of the shore,

While drowning capsized out at sea.

 

If I let myself go,

limbs aching and slow,

So close to that shore,

Then no more I’ll know

Of those I have...

Yet Ever Onward, Onward Keep Treading We Must

Any moment we may lose a love one so dear
so exists that long black hand of foreboding fear.
Yet not until it comes into our lives and rips
away that treasure, do we see its icy grips!
Invisible claws slash to...

I am run down,beat,exhausted,there is nothing left.
Swallowed in deadened emotion.
Feeling as though the price of my sacrifice is to much to bare.
To keep safe what I cherish most.
Yet the test of time has shifted gears.
Love prevent evil.
I shall rapture his sins.
Stand strong in belief.
Strength will...

Treading water
Where did it all go wrong?
What happened 
To those dreams and hopes
Of yesteryear?

Traded in for hard currency
They're drifting further and further away
And you can't summon up the strength
To save them from the abyss

Now you're owned by the bank,
Climbing up debt mountain
As responsibilities snap away
At...

(V.4 continued) There’s a joyful, wonderful future in store, despite this bittersweet sentiment
Brewing inside of me…these waves of emotions
Brew inside of me…ignore the ocean of commotions 
You’re my one and only awesome devotion
We can dance in this trance with the waves of majestic motion 
Radiant...

I must learn to swim, without you.
I must hold my breathe, for one moment longer
My lungs and my depth, they need a moment longer
My feet, my heartbeat, exasperated
Encircling myself, waves encircling me
Am I alone while I am treading? 
Am I alone while I am sinking?

Dry...

I see no haven in sight
Lead arms lose the fight

THEY SAY WHAT THEY MAY
EARTH TREADING STARS,
FOR THEY ENVY ME
AS EVERY LIVING CREATURE CAPABLE OF LOVE
CAN SEE.
I HAVE IN MY HOLD AN ANGEL
THAT SIMPLY FELL FROM THE SKY
AND BIRTHED A HUMAN IN EVERY EYE.
I HAVE A MASTERPEICE
MADE FROM GODS SCULPTURED TOUCH
AND ONE WHOM IS PRAISED...

What ever I say turns into a fight
When will you ever get me right?
Once you have a certain perception
It changes the idea of your conception 
And when I stay it bluntly as I do
You take it wrong because the insecurity lies in YOU!
I can admit...

Sensing each step I persuade my body onward and up.
Trekking up toward the light that adorns a precious cup,
Angels around sing gentle sounds, I never heard before.
Imagining the beauty that awaits me past that golden door,
Reality sets in that I am rising upward to Heaven’s...
