[bodytext] => From time to time I find myself lost in thoughts of doubt And as I fall deep in these Its hard to look about For as I look all about All I see is others And in these others I see success Success I fear I may never know And as this time does pass by This fear begins to grow And as the oceans tides do flow These thoughts do rise and fall And as they rise I sink within As if being drug under Under the tide that is my own This tide of my very own thoughts These thoughts like waves They pound so heavy Heavy upon my heart And as harder and harder they seem to pound Farther I do sink Dragged down by my own despair And as in these depths I do struggle I struggle towards a distant surface Trying to find my feet As I toss and as I turn my feet do find a bottom Sharp and loose this bottom seems and tears my feet apart But in my struggle I see a light A light beyond the top Beyond the top of each desperate wave Beyond the tide so deep And in this light I do see hope Hope and warmth above And as tides often do It then began to fall And out from my doubts I came All drenched in tears of relief From the rocky bottom Of all my sorrowed thoughts I pushed above a tide so strong And here is what I found Though day by day things may get worse And sometimes they may pull you down Just hold your breathe and wait it out For life is like the steady tide Though it may rise And the waves may grow And quickly pull you under And though you may find no ground to comfortable stand upon Time will pass as time always does And soon this tide will fall And as it falls the light will shine And all your fears and all your doubts Will slowly turn again So though from time to time I may find myself lost in thoughts of doubt Just remember in every life Yours theirs and mine Life does flow like the waters of a deep and frightening see In these doubts the tides do raise But in time they will fall And when they fall I may look about And see other’s lost in life’s vast sea [comments] => 1 [counter] => 137 [topic] => 65 [informant] => Lil_B [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => toughstuff )

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. ©
