Resolve Is this the day I do it? This the day I walk away? Question if I can hold to it Or will resolve once again stray? So determined to love me Unseen as the cold wind moans. But the chill to anonymity Saps the marrow of my bones. And it's New Year's already, They pass so fast anymore. This one I vow to steady Ship, and bring this wreck ashore. One set of footprints in the sand, We both know whose they'll be. My path to calm I understand You cannot share with me. I'll lift anchor before first step, Wind guide you or take stern, Won't condemn choice or pretend That I do not share the burn. But won't look back unto dark things I know I must release. Poetry my soul, till it again sings My quest is one of peace. Michael Anderson 1/01/16 |
