My soul was empty so I poured into it all of my hard work and the toils of the earth This filled my soul but it was unclean from the labor within what could I do to change my feelings of vast loneliness deep inside my skin So I searched and found some seeds of hope and intellectual thought yet it appeared to be all for naught because not one seed grew inside of me I was saddened and asked for my sins to be washed away in that baptism was a birth a new growth from the seed to a root until it sprouted up and broke through my past dirt The seed of hope rising to the light almost over night STRETCHING, REACHING, NEEDING the bright sky all this from an empty vessel to a cup of dirt followed by seed not a thing would spurt until the earth was wet with the water of life giving to the seed allowing it to grow in the soil made of original toil and to break through Passing the rim Up and Up No Longer will I be the EMPTY CUP |

I very much enjoyed this poem.  Sometimes we have to follow a stronger voice, even if it's silent. |

i like the sentiments presented here...what makes this piece more impressive is that i'm not someone particularly spiritual but this fascinated me  [This message has been edited by kaile (02-27-2003 04:02 AM).] |
