My inspiration for poems usually come in 2-3 short sentences or phrases that I usually don't have time or take the time to fully develop. Sharing a few here just as motivation to maybe sit down and finish at least one or two before too long. Do any of the poem fragments below pique our interest, let me know, I may just choose that particular poem to finish and share it's meaning. PS: Do not be concerned about the melancholy tone to most of my poems (such as they are), I tend me be inspired poetically when I'm wearing my "thinking cap". There are plenty of moments filled with peace and joy that just don't inspire me to write quite as much!
_____
The hustle and bustle of the city
A barrage of all things petty
This constant ebb and flow of contented, then not
This feeling of being stuck in my current life's lot
This is where I am, this is where I stand
This is me in quick sand
This is me hoping for something, but what?
This is me wishing I had the guts
Guts to move when Father says go
Guts to stay when He says lay low
_____
Contemplating life in an unorganized manner
You know what they say about a brain that is scattered?
_____
Keep me young until I die
Let me experience life while fully alive
_____
She walks with purpose, not looking back
She exudes more confidence than she actually has
_____
Feeling left out, while making major decisions
God if you would, make known me your vision
Poetry and parallels (analogies) and how they relate to God and life. Hopefully something in here will encourage you in your walk with God!
