Yet...
Yet there is hope to break this dread,
For courage lies in what lies ahead;
A force of will, a spirit strong,
...
O'er the gloaming morn, hues of sapphire and rust,
The shadows of thought, clouding my trust.
My vision blurs, terrene bliss forlorn,
My sight obscured, in a blindness of mind forlorn.
...
The clouds don't look real, I thought with a sigh,
As I gazed up at the painted sky.
The colors were vibrant, the shapes were so strange,
It felt like a dream, an otherworldly range.
...
Tis a malady most dire,
That strikes with no respite,
An insidious affliction,
That quells with darkest blight.
...
The moon did rise,
and stars did show,
A dream, I thought, was meant to go,
The air was still,
...
Aye, tribulations oft' refine,
Naught perfection sans its trials t' define,
E'en as life's perils oft' conspire,
Each step 'pon our path we aspire,
...
Yon wight doth wander anon,
Thither and hither in search of a place,
Wherefore to rest his weary bones;
To find a home with a gentle embrace.
...
Can a fish breathe air?
Or a bird swim with ease?
These questions may seem unfair,
For they each have unique expertise.
...
Lines on my hand, foretold my fate
A child of seven, to meet the end at eight
I searched for a palm reader to contradict the prediction
Lost in the crowd, with no contradiction
...
In shadows of longing, my heart does pine,
For a soul I lost, though never was mine.
His laughter danced like stars in the night,
But fate's cruel hand kept us out of sight.
...
The circus lion, hungry and weak
Relies on his master for meat to eat
But the king of the jungle, fierce and bold
Hunts for his meal with talents untold.
...
O'er lit'racy's broad vista
Verbose lexicon runs deep
Vocab'lary's highest peak
Ascend'll to words steep
...
Veracious merriment,
Inherent in our camaraderie, o
Uniting us in a bond that's sacred,
Enriching our existence,
...
A potent potion of potential,
A future of potentiality,
The potency of preponderance
To penury of poverty.
...
The heart beats fast, a gentle rhythm, my soul afire, my thoughts a-dreaming. I am a poet, my words held high, my heart a-breaking, my mind a-scheming.)
An Employed Audacity
Yet...
Yet there is hope to break this dread,
For courage lies in what lies ahead;
A force of will, a spirit strong,
Can quell the terror and right the wrong.
For those who'd seek to vanquish fear,
Must stand tall, must never veer;
Must take a chance and never flinch,
And boldly face the foe and winch.
For when one's audacity is employed,
The strength of man is fully enjoyed;
The courage of the heart to test,
Will bring a sense of newfound zest.
Money can buy the latest toy, But it can't replace the love and joy.
