Awake II


Today I sit on the pinnacle of trust knowing that my poems will reach the masses I look past all the critics who claim," Your not good enough to be a poet". Put my thinking cap on and hold to the words of Tennyson and Pond. Very often on Neopoet particular the critics can make you feel less then human. Yet I'll stay true to the craft of free verse witing with poetry. I admit I have a lot of flaws but I don't let those hinder me to be determined to become a successful writer. Seek to become a beacon of light to a hurting world in need of poetry. Lastly, remember where you came from but don't let that determine what will your future will become. True art stay focused stay true to your craft. love has a way yet through a delicate haze love has a way Sisiter moon brother sun onto a better new days run we look within yet dream without in columns of pillars let loose share a brisk walk could you talk the talk out of a common stream life is but a dream a life to call you in in days of dust in God we trust out of a common stream hear the freedom bell ring gives one rise to sing Awake the new day bow your head to pray wouldn't have it any other way you got me in the zone when i'm at home and alone see the simple fawn out on the lawn singing that same old song vibrations to temptations the applause of reflection leaves you second guessing best to be start professing linger in the moment having fun & enjoyment choose to salute the flag remember the cost some may go before the toss it maybe their loss awake the new days dawn Mary sings her final song don't turn your rights to wrong Remember when you were young never hurting anyone out their on their own looking for some fun to dream of flight of fancy gone are the days when Sid with Nancy wandering take control of your tongue life is but a dream eating delicious ice cream sipping on Jimmy Bean causing a horrific scene it's in the parting of the waves eating with a silver spoon in the late month of June best to go & clean your room some are being thrown to the wolves run to the hill dazzle with your way on MTV living out your legacy come and sit next to me falling stream peeps do scream we are made up with many molecules a couple of screws loose the devil is prawling the internet have you taken the time to forget this is not the teaching of the new age nor of the occult You don't like what you see ? change your hearts & imagination life is what you make it so don't try to fake it awake we look toward each philisophical premise through the journey of the day what was going on inside your head the devil wants to put bad images in your mind he robs from the blind there are better days ahead what kind of image do you have inside we all want to run away and hide blown to & fro bust up the beat to promote its tempo
