Fight for Life

Fight for Life

original poetry by blog author, copyright laws apply

 

Fighting for an unseen cause

Hoping just to finish the race.

Suffering gives me great pause

But a win for me I still chase.

Standing outside the fray

Breathing deeply sun-shining life.

Raging chaos all day

I refuse to engage in strife.

Wholeness is what I seek

Healing, a trophy in my sights.

Restore; this soul is weak

Shelter of peace set me to rights.

Strength comes like tidal waves

Surging, pulling, tugging my soul.

Slowly my heart behaves

Stirring, waking, life makes me whole.

Quietly, I'll not go

The dark night will not o'er take me.

Though the journey be slow

Perfection I will one day see.

Phoenix die and rise again,

My soul is ash and life anew.

Embrace rebirth and then

I'll soar on wings to the great blue.

Blue sky, expanse unknown

Boundless hope of life eternal

I soar o'er fields I've sown

To see the rage burn infernal.

An incense burns sweetly

All that is death has been destroyed.

My beating heart freely

Glides on new wings deployed.

Breathe deep, be overjoyed

A new spirit clearly

Apart from the raging annoyed

Now loves this life wholly.
