are you still waiting there at the gate?
where reality and dreams merge fond
warming your hands from ancient fate
in the aspiration of this distant bond
are you settled in for the winter cold?
when April is on the edge of spring
where others before you fail to hold
on a precipice where hope must cling
are you perched on a limb as a lullaby?
where disappointment once took its toll
a brittle song that time seeks to nullify
that pacifies the heart of a kindred soul
are you lingering fast to an eternal hope
that our Creator would not turn his ear
away from pleas that may help us cope
or is your motive merely drawn by fear?
Excellent questions, those that we are or should be asking ourselves.
I see the date on this is March... I wondered how I missed such a gem then it occurred to me - I've had my head in the coal mine for too many months now.

I BELIEVE THAT WE ALL ARE 'WAITING' FOR SOMETHING AND OUR REASONS FOR THIS 'WAIT' DIFFERS AS MUCH AS NIGHT DIFFERS FROM DAY. ONLY GOD KNOWS...AND ULTIMATELY, THIS IS A GOOD THING. THANKS FOR SHARING, AMOR. JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
there's alot of reasons why one 'waits' for what seems impossible but its probably a little bit of 'everything' that steels the spine. thanks for sharing.
This is indeed a piece of wordsmithing that allows multiple identities for the reader. Regardless of one's beliefs, your words here afford a confirmation of integrity's power. Sadly, we live in a world where integrity is waning. Well done. Thank you for posting.
Achingly beautiful, Amor. Your second stanza actually brought on tears. What a vision! "are you settled in for the winter cold? when April is on the edge of spring" ... oh, this just gets me deeply! Such an emotive and wonderful poem. ~Elizabeth
I have written a chapter called I Am That, I Am in this inspirational compilation book by best-selling authors and wonderful people from all walks of life xox :-D (Its sister book is called Adventures In Manifesting - Success and Spirituality)
These timeless quotations culled from the celebrated corpus of writings by W.E.B. Du Bois are presented with illuminating introductory essays by Aberjhani. Narration of the Audible book performed by Catherine Byers.
This book consists of a 150 pages of Christian poetry about the end of time and the Second coming of Jesus Christ not as a servant but as a King, the King of kings. To bring righteousness and peace to the earth and restore the government of God! Peac
