Something takes me past my tether Past endurance that I weather Further than my spread out length To find that now I have no strength Sleep and time is not enough To nurture the old fashion stuff Everyday I spend away And that was just another day Once I had the time to spend And ponder of around the bend To sit back and enjoy the view To contemplate what others knew Now demons crawl within my mind As clean escape I cannot find The doors of chance do almost close Though scent of change around still flows A place within my stomach churns As passion for my future burns Knowing not which path to take Or which type of choice to make My life is cleared to tethers end Reliant on what day may send For I have grazed on what was there And now dream of more to share |

Rick - What's up? It sounds like you might be having a case of the "woulda, shoulda, coulda's" .... or is the "now-what's?". Whatever it is, may you find peace in the answers. Remember, we are all stronger than we realize. hugs, Chris Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance. |

Ouch! I know this feeling. I hope you need fewer antacids than I did, and that the roar of the rapids are soon replaced by the serenity you seek. Nicely captured mood in your poem. Smiles, (and hugs if you need em), biskit, (Constance) |

Hello to you all my friends, as we get older, knowing what we really want seems to get harder and the patience becomes less, too many questions that need to be answered, too many dreams yet to be filled, i seem at a cross road of fate, not knowing which way to go. Thank you all for your replies, nice to share moments of my life with you, I am well, good to get it out. Be well my friends and take care. Sincerely Rick |
