This week we all started with the same first line, provided by Nate, and wrote the rest of the poem. This was mine, and I hope the rest of the club will post theirs as well.
When I have fears that I may cease to be
I clutch the present tight into my fist
Lest loosing it to vanish in the mist
No future shall appear supporting me.
The hole I'd leave behind so empty seems
That thus with cramping fingers, aching tears
I hold and squeeze the feeling from my fears
And find myself in life, in hope, in dreams.
But clinging to receeding time in vain,
I'm battered, twisting, breathless in life's flow.
It softens only when I let it go
And learn to live in doubt and truth again.
May fears and pain and present find release
In peace and good and future when I cease.
