I Will Poem by Nikunj Sharma

I Will

Rating: 5.0


Strong current of river wild
Always troubled; me the child
Holding the ores, rowing uphill
Cursing the distance;
Between
WILL I to I WILL.

Years of cruise and rowing still
The task seemed quite uphill
I only saw unending miles
From WILL I to I will….

Till I met a lady wise
Who taught me to handle the river wild,
To turn into answer; the question itself
That always troubled the innocent child.

She asked me to pause and stand still;
To turn the tables on WILL I;
And say – I will.

Deep inside, a sunrise
The child morphed into a man wise
The distances are only in mind
Little did I realize.

Will I? To I will! A question mark and an exclamtion mark might add to your thought. Just an idea. :) Good Work. DC

Oh my! This is an honor to me. I am filled with happiness. Mmmmmm! I love this poem. One thing...You write 'cursing' the distance? To me 'cursing' has a negative shadow surrounding it. Consider a more positive side, maybe like embracing, or challanging, meeting, or communicate, learn patience with, or gather strength from. Showing love to the distance, teaching the cursed moment... Only a suggestion. I am with pride now. You honor me with your poem! DC
