Shined My Shoes

A remembrance
so vivid
True
then blue

I skip down a path
filled with the dew
Remembering you

I close my now
tears from my brow
To venture on
that path once knew

I look back to when
how sweet things
Could of been?

The time of no worry
no sense of hurry
Climbing walls for fun
when I wouldn't walk
Always wanted to run

My feet two steps ahead
of my heart so light
A time I feared
no feeling of fright

Nothing to hide from
in my innocence
It did not matter
if life made no sense!

My skies were blue
with sun so bright
Nothing could stop
my visions sight

Then came the storm
it blew and blew
Tormented me
sorrow I knew

The journey so long
so weary
No longer strong
muddied my shoes
Seduced my blues

I wallered in the mud
and let ME drown
Swallowed into a dismal frown

I tried to fight
my seemingly forced plight
Clouds so dark and obscure
what a cold haunted tour

Where to go?
my feelings to show?
No one could help me
from this storm to be free

Then I realized the silt
of reality
was not the end
It was indeed my friend!
so I stopped wondering who

And shined my own shoes!

All I can say is "WOW". That was deep! You expressed your feelings so well and while I was reading this, it was like you were right there beside me. That was a really good poem. nice job. I love you
