Here is yet another poem from my co-written book, Terra Spar. It’s a scene where King Cobalt (who represents the sea) is taken on an adventure in his subconscious to learn that there is hope. Ever found yourself feeling hopeless and in need of a little pick-me-up? I certainly have! Believe me, there is an end to all the bad things! I hope you enjoy the poem.
Evaporate:
As the Sun shone bright, I held the light
In my right hand
And in my left, who could forget
That timer made of sand
It felt good in my palm, as my midst stood calm
All stiller than would seem
Then wonder arrived, and I lost the time
My heart began to dream
Envy and Rage had built a cage
As far as I could image
So trapped I was, and all because
My mind was stuffed with scrimmage
Above me high was my demise
My failures on an alp
Sin and faults, then above them all
Was my ever present doubt
My cheeks were stained with salty rain
By a sight too tall to climb
The Sky concealed but light did spill
Down on this hand of mine
For a sign I wished and timer flipped
As grains began to count
The time moved straight but my mistakes
From me were slipping out
They drifted up, all I’d thought of
Was leaving me at once
I waved farewell to pain that swelled
And greeted my Goosebumps
Gone to the fears and all the years
Of failure looming by
Gone to the hurts and all the worst
Blunders now I defy
Then sight returned and ease well earned
Forgiveness for myself
No matter the tide, I’ll take it in stride
And fight my troubles well
Care to share some thoughts?
