Like a hole that’s split in two And then fallen in by three Like a void that never fills While sinking in the sea Like a stress-filled afternoon Times infinity Like an anxiety parade That Marches over me These feelings will not leave I can’t show them the door They take up all my space But still they ask for more Like a joy that can't be born This fear will never die Like tension in a rope I can't exhale a sigh Like yesterdays demands Tomorrows won't pass by Like feeling deep in **** And never knowing why These feelings will kill me Now more than before They took over my life But still they ask for more Like a million thoughts in one Tangled up in blue Like a man lost in himself He has no where to turn to Like a frightened grown-up child Who cries a laugh for you Like a bell for whom it tolls Whose chime is overdue There's nothing to be done But to throw in the white towel Then hear the call of "Checkmate" ... I'll answer that call now "If this grand panaorama before me is what you call God... then God is not dead." |

When incompletion births your death... Yeah, thats like being restless inside, drives one nuts sometimes. But its not totally bad. I like it. It has a real flow and timing. Nice. -GIS Romans 8:28 "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purposes |

The structure of this poem grabs the reader. The lesson learned leaves the reader speechless. Great write. Tomorrow comes for those who fear it. |

Yes, well said. We've all, no doubt, walked that road at some time or other. |

Thanks for the replies everyone. I apologize for not responding earlier. "If this grand panaorama before me is what you call God... then God is not dead." |
