I'm like a small desert tree Vulnerable to storm tossing me around Testing my roots Swinging me to west and east Rolling all directions like a baby girl's shackling bracelet on her wrist.
Like fisher men caught by storm in the heart of Arctic Caught up without frequency to alert the danger Everything comes to stand still and waves smashing hard testing endurance and resilience Everything turns out to be a night dream that disperses when the sun rises What used to matter before does not matter any more I wish I could revoke the moment.
This is the moment I dust my ancient book and try to iron out my twisted fate Holding the so called book of life upside down Trying to read like an ancient pagan converted to Christianity Could this be a license to go home?
I'm hearing the little voice in the chamber of my heart Feinted voice saying "gone be ok" The voice of my angel saying "gone be ok" I feel the seed of hope germinating in the midst of consciousnesses The more I swing the more I smile Like a young monk on trampoline jumping up and down.
Take courage on your words my angel It will be time when mankind's faith ceases but not today This is the hour to sharpen my old pencil and scribble again I shall not drown; I shall grow to see my hair grow grey.
Hi Abed, thanks for sharing another inspiring poem of yours! It's so important to call forth our courage in times of distress, struggles and challenges. Courage is what pushes us past our fears, uncertainties and launches us to move past our obstacles.
