Plunge into the
Storm
Straight ahead
The wind will cut
And the ice chill
But keep straight ahead.
Snows drives
Latching onto tree and bush.
Your hair greys
Not with time
But by frozen water.
Your shoulders ache
Your feet throb
And your mind pleads
For rest
But you keep straight
Ever onward.
The leaves caught
Still green
Muddy and stiffen
With the cold.
Layers
Of snow slick your path
Will this obstruct your way?
No, for you
Will keep ever straight
And ever
Onward.
Don’t ever stop racing, walking, crawling toward the Light, even when snow blinds or darkness shades your eyes.
This is honest and beautiful. I really like your verb choices-they really drove the action. And I LOVE free-verse poetry (I love all types of poetry)! I can’t wait until I get a break from school and have time to write and edit unfinished work. I miss it. Question: where do you get your pictures from? They’re all really pretty and match your post themes well! Keep it up!
Thanks, Michaela! 😊
