Poems
Oct 2016
Cinder Blocks and Boot Straps
At sorrows depth
I sat and wept
heart as if concrete
I sank complete
Into the melancholy
though pure folly
to wallow the mire
of a funeral pyre
Life simply must go
continue to flow
so I get to my feet
and say never retreat
Moving ahead with life
away from pain and strife
always remember, but there I cannot live
I go on, with so much more to give.
From being sunk, to the bottom as if tied to cinder blocks in the lake
to getting up and picking ones self up by the bootstraps
