“soul”
my warrior spirit
seems to have deserted me,
left me behind
my fortitude
slipped out too, after
a swift and steady decline
resolve is shaky,
on ground that feels flimsy
and unstable
and my stamina,
low on determination
leaves me powerless and unable
my knees are weak,
my mind stumbling
over fears I can’t control
but tomorrow
I’ll show up again
with nothing more than soul
Hon, just excellent! Do you think Tanya could work your poem into one of her posts?
(Small confession: I didn’t really “get” your poem until I read the tags at the end! Yeah, I know. I cheated. So what else is new?! ) 🙂
Thanks Ron! Well…I don’t know…I like to stay out of her writing sandbox. If she would like to throw it in somewhere, she knows where I live and knows I don’t mind. 😉 Thanks for the compliment and the suggestion!
*This* is a grabber!
Thanks!!!
