Poetry on Tuesday 3-31-09

Here we are. It's Tuesday and I've written no prose for a LONG time.
Take a half hour today and write yourself something. Anything.
My poetry style is my own. I've tried to make it that way.
I hope you enjoy it. I know I enjoy writing. Have a GREAT day!



RIDE THE WINGS

When you've reached the place you thought you'd never be,
When someone's frost,
Holds your mind it's prisoner,
When time grinds to a halt,
Because you have too,
When substance grips you,
Like the jaws of life,
You think it won't ever let go.
When you can't go any lower,
When you think you just can't take any more,
Remember a few things.
It took you a while to get there,
It will take a while to climb back out.
It won't be easy returning to yourself.
Who said life was easy?
He gave you the tools you need.
They're all there within you.
Take small steps,
Begin with the leap into yourself,
Ask yourself who you want to be,
Strive to find your answers,
Kick and scratch if you have to,
Fight for the life you deserve.
As you Ride the wings of his design,

Into the stars that are your future,

All of a sudden,
You'll be suprised with what you've done.

"A boy can learn a lot from a dog: obedience, loyalty, and the importance of turning around three times before lying down." -- Robert Benchley
