Sweet Nothing Poem By Nahna James Poem by Nahna James

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail;
So they say;
So I say.

From down the abyss;
I will make a wish.

From deep my anguish;
I'll keep track & not miss;
My moments on this earth.

From my deepest desires;
I will light up fires.

Brighten my path burn away all my worries;
Though hard I'll attempt with many tries;
Lay back & sit around a table with my family.

Life's full of straggles & cliffs to climb;
Rivers to cross & with a sober mind a lot to bribe;
I'll seek the wisdom from beyond our tribe.

Far above & below with humility of a lamb;
I'll grow wings & fly above;
Buckle up my family so they too get on a move;
As a pillar, will lead them with love;
Bear their burdens so long as I live;
&
Lead them all across the seas lakes & rivers.

As I pass through the mud;
Slip & down I fall like lad;
Yet will stand up calmly & not be mad;
Lift my leg & make a step forward;
To where my goals & visions lie.

Is it possible to swim across the ocean?
One can't ask that question;
As clear is the answer without further discussion;
Yet as I'm on a mission, that's my vision.
Because my abilities & limits are but my own.
