    Poem Commentary

    Life that comes at you full bore, then is shot through your soul!

    ~I crawl before I fall~

    ~I crawl before I fall~

    Wasted time absent to rhyme,
    Moments absent in time.
    Words to lug ,
    Words you recognize,
    Words that hollow out bottomless,
    Carved upon my soul.
    Another instant come,
    With fear, not knowing,
    What livelihood has in store.
    Must I walk, or should
    We talk, all my answers
    Cant be bought, should
    I gratis them in the ocean of time.
    Eleven years many tears,
    Draw nearer at me unjustly fast,
    Must I creep before I fall,
    Or thump a shot through,
    My skull ……….

    Jeff - I found this one to be deep, dark and sad .... Seems that life has taken it's toll on you too my friend. It's a hard road .. But, it's made easier by riding with the wind. :) Nice write!

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
