there is a legend of old
the brave and proud
the honorable chosen
the famous three hundred
against impossible odds
they stood tall to the last
the battle was not theirs
yet they alone stood
this is not that heroic
no spears and shields
nor rains of arrows fall
no great warriors honor
merely words written out
telling one man's thoughts
the battle of imagination
seeking creativity's flow
my battle continues on
three hundred battles won
still I manage to stand
not as sturdy as I was
leaning on the support
the strength of others
letting go of my pride
stepping outside my box
together we struggle on
seeing the end is near
yet like those legends
we will not give up now
stand with me renewed
help to carry onward still
united till the very end
then maybe start again....
thank you for your support through 300!
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.
And you my friend have inspired us with your determination and your amazing creativity....thank you
ReplyDeleteIf leaning on the support of others, the strength of others, letting go of your pride and stepping outside your box, together.....is the ONLY thing you have gained, without ever giving up on your own inner strengths, you have gained much. Would that we all would expand ourselves beyond our comfort zone with such wisdom.
ReplyDeleteThank you for giving us these poems!
