PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I trust in all wealth that inhabits the mind

though some would make a quick comment that

my intentions are not always so very kind

most weary would be the adviser who dares

challenge me to a fate of 'depth decay'

as when one reaches so far in one's self

for such a long period of time one can not

adequately measure all else that got away

so there in lays an enormous debt

a yet known trade off for what the desperate

searcher so soulfully seeks

an unfortunate fear yet trespassed upon

a grainy mirage of unsorted out guess

or a bartered plateau that rests

between all of life's valleys and subsequent

peaks

and to this trite yet not so obvious state

one finds there can be a relatively painless

end

just allow the heart in long enough to grieve

for the unknown elses that we've lost

and the beautous soul will further fill with

'The Living Love' and all its accompanying grace

to the point of becoming victorious in its

glorious win

for the truest spirit knows

no such word as defeat................
