Across The River Try < !signature-->Standing on the bank of a mighty river emotions run wildly, the fortitude needed to begin my journey is beyond my grasp in almost ever form. My heart desiring only truth and clarity, sheets of crystalline tears fall, for I am weak and in utter dismay, a lifetime of trying has only brought me here; yet another challenge to meet, pass over the river try. Spending much time in the valleys of despair, blindly believing in the holy mountain of hope, never quiet conquering the oceans of why, surviving nights of shadowy deceit, I now face another soul-searching quandary why me? Why has my sphere maintained such tilt, the mighty river before me runs up hill, continually at odds my gate. My realm, which I reside, seems to differ from that of most, was I born on the plains of indecision, has my opportunity for a soundness of heart passed me by? My triumphant conquest still eludes wisdom gained, sky’s of opportunity still shine brightly, yet lack of understanding still haunts my every move. A pleading I admit to now, shower me with knowledge, blanket my exposed soul with loving empathy, provide a vessel with the fortitude to see beyond that which holds me captive. The mighty river try, “oh” how strong your currents, across to the other side my destiny, no alternate coarse available, a pleading I admit, please show mercies tender touch and grant me the wisdom to survive the voyage across the river try.

Enjoyed the emotional expression in this open verse poem. The river of words flowed well, with just a few rocks. Gloom |

Hi Dawn,Regina,Brian,Professor Thank you for your kind replys, I have been in a state of poetic deadness lately and then a friend shared some kind and loving thoughts helping me to get some form of handle on hard issues I have been dealing with and this poem was sitting on the chopping block, actually I found the title and went from there, kind of backwords I guess but she helped me and I was able to finish this poem and I have to thank her very much, any way thanks again and Professor, (The river of words flowed well, with just a few rocks.) I am always open for comments of any kind if you would share? Love, Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. We have to be reminded that He exist!" (Writer Unknown) |

Cerenity, You've painted a wonderful picture of life's journey. Very vivid, indeed. The open verse really emphasized the turbulence of your plight(s). Sheila |
