  • I Burn A New Flame

    Sitting in thought

    My whole life I fought
     
    Being a better person
     
    A better quality of life
     
    Thawing my frozen brain
     
    Keeping my mind fluid
     
    Cutting apathy with a knife
     
    Lazy is not a choice
     
    Humming to a catchy tune
     
    Enjoying the sound of my voice
     
    Loving myself more today
     
    Sometimes black and white is better than gray
     
    Being able to see the difference
     
    That was then, this is now
     
    Wiping the sweat from my brow
     
    I don't have to panic anymore
     
    I won't fall
     
    I'll stand tall
     
    Kicking through life's drama
     
    I don't need to let it get me down
     
    The weight of the world
     
    I'll let others deal with it
     
    People like Obama
     
    Shooting down my obstacles like America did Osama
     
    I burn a new flame
     
    It burns bright
     
    I burn a hot flame
     
    Lasting for an eternity
     
    Bright is my name...

  • @ctaretz - I am highly touched my such a loving response with so few words. I would like to see you send a book of your poems tthe, AFLCIO, for they have a poet laurette writing for all of us who have known the cycle of work, whatever our home lives are, and the little time to express that we are so much more.  Blessings kind soul!

    Love, Barb Hz

  • Oh My Dear Friend,

    You just keep getting better, and the imagery of a soul of fire which cannot go back to ordinary is extraordinary.  I have to believe that along the way you have met some of my demons, and as I do;  You just keep shoving them away, for they are vigilantly armed with chaos and wish to leave all that hurts behind them in the path the lambs must walk.  You give me courage, so; "Walk on,"  even in the darkness; "Walk on," and I will know that a gentle Lion is out to protect the ones more fragile than some might have thought.

    Blessings, and lovingly, Barb of the, "Pinkhoneysuckle."
