Open To The Sky

Humm,

'I could open to the sky' she said

"have all my cautions fall away

in the wily wind;

give in to impulse drive

and let life fall

all around

and call this Fate.
 

I could simply deny myself

nothing

and accept everything;

be the cork

on the party scene;

some do that.

I could put myself in life's way

and hope that something happens to me;

that's what I think some people do.

I could stay here and stagnate

just to see what will be the end of this

stagnate movie reel.

 

I could cry just to see how many tears can fall.

I could end up waiting for that bus of life which never comes.

Maybe it won't be this way always. Maybe one day

things will change and landscapes will tilt

and I will come falling out

in a pretty dress

yelling

 

'I told you so.

I am alive!

Yes, that how it will be.

That's how I want it to be.

That's what it needs to be.

 

 

Help me please get on that road.

Just having trouble finding where

is that first step

on the road

where I need to be.

 

Humm, just thinking about it

is that step.

At least now I feel better

and Time

I feel

is smiling on me

for being smart enough

to begin to

reel in the Real.

What a wonderful rendition of the wake up call that so many of us need but seldom want, and so many of us look for but yet overlook. It's that first step that is the trickiest ;-)
Blessings,

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
