Array ( [sid] => 12957 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => only chance [time] => 2003-02-19 18:11:13 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Whispered voices from within my head
Spreading secrets filled with dread

Of shattered dreams in desperate plight
Of shadowed thoughts in fading light

To flee the throngs of sorrows grasp
To unlock the door and free the hasp

To shatter bonds of mortal souls
Free from guilt and taken tolls

To reach beyond the broken hearts
To be more than my summed up parts

To stand up tall and do my best
As I walk through life and stand the test

To be at peace within myself
To stand on faith when nothings left

To deal with all that’s come to past
and walk beyond the shadows cast

To out stretched hands and arms spread wide
To welcome one and all inside

To share with those I here do tell
The thoughts here in this mind that dwell

With hope my words do wisdom teach
To all and one and to own his each

To faith we trust to our salvation
Our knowledge found in revelation

That love for one and each the other
Every woman her child and every man his brother

For only then will we survive
Our only chance to stay alive

i really enjoyed reading your poem.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
