Change

Just sharing some more self therapy....

CHANGE

Another day has come, Another night is loss

Present turns to past heading into the future

What is my future?

Will yesterday catch tomorrow

Bringing tomorrow into today

Is the future defined by redundancy

Does my past interpret my present

Will I be freed of the inequities preceding me

Will the weight of the stocks be lifted off my shoulder

Or is my soul to be damned for eternity, cast into a lonely oblivion

Can my present transcend my past and represent my future

Can my deeds of today carry the weight of yesterday’s despondencies

For another day will come, another night will pass

When the stars sleep and the sun breathes

I will be standing there, Ready, Willing, and Free.

mymum does poems, it helped her coped generally with life and i must admit i was stunned at what she had did over the years. she catalogues them and some of them are even in poem books.
i hope you do the same, so as not to lose your precious work.
you obviously spend time and effort which is to be appreciated.
i hope they help you through your times.
i did not realize how much i had a clever mum until i read hers.
yours are appreciated to , they allowed me to follow a fond memory of my mother.

Thank you...my wife actually is VERY poetic, I never put my words into a poetic format, and she doesn't know that I am writing now. I got inspired reading some of her older poems, which is how I got to know her...once we get out of this situation that were in hopefully this is something we can build upon together...if not it still is a good release to me. After writing this my mind felt clear and light.

well if i can help n e time. i dont know your issues at home, they might be confidential to you. but to be honest your member username might just be the give away.
take care and keep inspiring others. keep up with the poems.
your poem inspired me because it brought back some nice times with my mother. maybe you could tell your wife how much her poems inspired you. thats a lovely thought. well i like it n e way.

Very nice. Writing can help clear the mind and soul. I’ve posted a couple of mine here myself and it was very therapeutic. I had about a dozen poems printed on heavy stock and bound last year and gave them to my wife for Christmas, she was very touched. Keep up the writing and thank you for sharing.

I think that letting out good words are 10x better then bad words and it always heals the hurting heart
