To walk into the face of fear,
to stare down inner grief,
to let the rage of rumour fly;
suspending disbelief.
To hold the ground of sanity,
as time in sequence flew,
and lies tied tight emotions;
lost courage found anew.
So do we walk our inner path,
so do we trust our Soul,
to quickly take us to the edge;
to jump when Life does call.

To jump- yes.
ReplyDeletevery reminiscent of a hymn with its rhythmic qualities & syntax - beautifully spun
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem. "to let the rage of rumour fly;" - this is so hard to do, but declarations of truth aren't heard over the rumor's roar anyway.
ReplyDeleteLife will come a callin'! I like this, well done.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done Roslyn! I love the first four lines in particular. Fantastic use of rhythm. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for iambs and this is flawless. The rhymes are subtle and nice and give just the right tone.
ReplyDeleteI actually get a little Robert Frost feeling from this piece... a complex simplicity.
Very good, I'm glad for the visit.
Thanks to everyone and Bjorn, I am not good at the mechanics, it just comes out as it comes out but glad it came out with the right tone.
