Literature Text

When thou rear thine heads
Shadows of my past,
To disturb my dreams and nights,
Memories of pain and suffering
Ill veiled torture
And bitterly worded fights
I reach deep to banish thee
For I have a raft to hold
A strong hand to drag me from
Despair’s icy hold.
I have people in my life,
To light my way.
I have people in my life,
To tell me everything’s okay.
Folks and Friends
Who haven’t cast me astray.
I have people in my life
Who enfold me in an embrace kind
And sweet.
I have people in my life
Who I was fervently glad to meet.
And your words
Across the years drawn and long
Grow faint and pale with the retelling
For it is the people in my life
Who help me grow strong …
So ... one more of my random departures from photography and into the considerably murkier realms of poetry and literature. This one is devoted to all of the friends I know, old and new. It's sappy, but its true. ^^
