Pushed To The Edge Poem by sookdeo manansingh manansingh

From strips of paper
into a masterpiece of light
to put together
the dull moments
of my life
in preparation for
tomorrow's fight
though my feet be bruised
by thorns and weeds
in the stream
i continued to pull
the blades of grass
to fulfill my dream

everytime i was
pushed to the edge
i felt like engaged to a game of chess
the choice to pursue my goal
with faith
helped me to progress
like pieces of ice
chipping away
from an iceberg
yet to remain afloat
to attain wisdom
closer to old age
between time and space
i came to be enlighten
by them both

to see my cloud of thoughts
come to life
be the fulfillment
of my heart
as every doorway of opportunities
open to be embrace
with my grace
i couldn't help but to part
to chart every moment of my life
will remain with me
until eternity i find
the mirror of the past
reminds me of the broken promises
i hid behind

the picture i frame
into the future
will change the world
as i want it to be
in the image of my soul
i see no difference between
the creator and me
i stand as a pillar of truth
to see the winds of change
pass my way
whatever success brings
before my eyes
be the consequences
for the actions i display.
