OK, so I know that this isn't a free verse poem, but my schedule has cleared up and I want to post something now. I haven't finished the free v. poem quite yet...
These are descriptions of things that I rely upon completely, and am so grateful for. They illuminate the paths of my life, so it seems, especially when despair gets heavy. Each verse's portrayal is in accordance with many different things in my personal life, and maybe even in yours...?
Show the Way
By:
the iHope Poet
I
love the stars
When
they shine
So
bright
In
the night
And
I love the light
Of
the moon
In
the dark.
As
I watch them
Brighten,
whiten
Blackness
and decaying gloom,
They
will
Show
the way
I
love the words
On
the page;
Those
that testify
And
know.
They
help me grow
To
become
Better
still.
And
I read
Their
strength, power
To
shake (weakly spun) lies;
So
through the last pages
Those
words will have
Carved
a path,
Shown
the way,
Show
the way.
I
love the pain
In
each trial.
Though
it burns,
Chokes
and spurns,
It
lets me learn
What
true hope
Really
means.
When
it leaves
Flowers
bloom,
Weeds
are gone, all is new.
But
the memory of such
Will
keep me on the road
Which
pain demonstrates,
Carves
a way,
Shows
a way,
Show
the way.
For
all these things
Know
the way,
Are the way,
Show
the way.
I love this one and I especially love the perfect pictures that you choce in conjunction with it. Here was the part that spoke to me: "I love the pain
ReplyDeleteIn each trial.
Though it burns,
Chokes and spurns,
It lets me learn
What true hope
Really means."
That really resonated, for I identified with it. That's what poetry does...it helps us identify. Great job! I was missing your posts :)
