A leap of faith

Contributed by texasman on Tuesday, 17th June 2014 @ 10:03:41 PM in AEST
Topic: oops

A leap of faith is never clear
It’s something I have always feared
It’s more than just my blackest night
The thing I’ve done to see the light

Will I be able to make it thru
And come to the other side with you
Are will I stay lost and never see
The things that have divided me

I go ahead and take that plunge
Making my way thru all the grunge
With fingers and nails I claw at the black
While I try to find the thing that I lack

The things I see are horrible to me
They all grow from my thorny tree
It comes from the ground there is no earth
It sprouts from a place that I have berthed

It suckles from collective thoughts
Of memories gone but will not halt
Why do I let it torture me
Thus thorns from that hideous tree

I know I will never make it thru
But at lest I have stud with you
I’ve finally found that place in time
Where I understand why I am blind

I say to those that tack the leap
Know the things that you have reaped
Tack care in how you carry them
Because most will have a thorny lem

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
