where my heart is

0 posted 2006-10-01 10:48 PM


Could it be that obstacles are here for a purpose,
Maybe to let you know that sometimes we have to guess?
And leap into the darkness, the unknown,
And to just forget yourself, and let it all go?

Look in the distance, what do you see?
Something that you want, something you need.
But along the way you find yourself lost,
You have to get back to your path at all costs.

You want to give up, and leave it be,
But when you look forward, what do you still see?
What is it you’re fighting for, what gives your life meaning?
The thing you look at for hope, the thing that’s gleaming.

Up you stand to push further forward,
You raise your head and lift up your sword,
Fighting for what you need in life,
What is your ultimate price?

Could it be that they obstacles are here for a purpose,
Maybe to let you know that sometimes we have to guess?
And leap into the darkness, the unknown,
And to just forget yourself, and let it all go?

God put obstacles in our way,
Not to make it hard or to make us stray,
But to find out if what we want to be or to have,
Is worth fighting for after all the damage.

I also liked the ending; it wrapped the whole poem up perfectly. I thought you did a great job with that stanza, the rhythm was very nice.

And it doesn't appear that you have writer’s block?

This is so true.
