The doors of fate

[Ayshela]

whilst flipping through my hefty e-mail archives, i found this in a conversation from back in May. i wasn't *trying* for poetry, it's just the way the thoughts came out, but in looking it back over - i think i kinda like it.

 

Since it's been a while since i've had time to post much here, here's an "ice breaker" of sorts.

The doors of fate have slammed themselves before me

as my deepest heart believed that they would do

hope is but a fairy tale for children

and those whose breathing needs to find excuse

for reason there is none, or nearly so

and yet i must find strength to try again,

to gather shards of heart and soul and go

and try, and try, and try once more and then

when nothing's left, all avenues exhausted

to find one more resource to bring to light,

a harbor that my children not be tossed to

death amongst my shadows, without sight

of those who have a care for their well-being -

by will alone to guard their own life's meaning.

I like this too

 

Funny how thoughts tend to visualise themselves at times... even though you weren't trying, well done I say.

 

Never stop trying!
