This is What Happens When I Finally Clean Under My Bed…
by lazys ~ November 8th, 2008. Filed under: Ramblings.I find all the crappy poetry I’ve written and then hidden. And now, as to embarrass myself completely, here you go!
Journey
Vast expanse
As far as the eye can see
Wind sweeping, hides the paths we’ve taken
Obscures the view of what may be.
Do you hear me at all?
I’m thirsty, I’m hungry
And nothing fills me up.
Dogged steps of determination
Push forward, ignore the pain
Savor the bleeding, cracked lips
Smile through the ache.
As green as I was
Now browned by the sun
Yet to blister and burn, let the new skin shine through
Healing, pink and raw.
To come so far, and have so long left to go
And then, we start all over.

Don’t be embarrassed. says the person who destroys his own poetry annually. This is a good poem. I love you.
