The Trail

Contributed by moses on Friday, 15th February 2008 @ 11:14:38 AM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems



Dragging my feet along this unbeaten trail,
To these passing trees I’d gladly spill my soul.

The tick of my watch chills my heart,
And I focus on my shoes as I walk.

I forgetfully peer beyond the peaceful face of the forest,
Where saplings grow on top of the rotting debris,
Deep orange feathers fall off of a flash of flying forms,
And a stray limping cub’s eyes burn through the shadows.

Every cell of the land is screaming,
Too loudly, for I have grown deaf.

I shudder as I wander aimlessly,
Keeping my eyes fixed on the rugged earth at my feet.

greetings my good friend, i must say you are growing into a true poet!

I think you have finally got the idea of leaving the reader a piece of their own mind, a piece that they can finish and take home with them. You are getting it.

bravo!
