    Poem Commentary

    an older one I dredged up, but it feels appropriate today...

    Let Down Again

     Let Down Again

    Another day on this spinning sphere
    Another empty heart splashes by
    Another flash of lightning knocks me down
    It doesn't end, the colors keep mixing
    And won't hold still...

    You are an ignorant genius
    Waiting for life to bowl you over
    Waiting for perfection
    Ceaselessly pacing...

    But you're alone in your cage
    And you've passed it many times by now.

    I no longer wait on perfection..... I never will be..... I use to wait on perfection of me..... I'm glad I found that in Jesus.... He was, He is, and He will always be perfect...... I use to let it all pass me by..., now I just try to take it in...... red

    Terra, thank you. Your inspirational words are much appreciated. Peace...

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
