Poetry Speaks: 3 Steps
Foolishly, without missing a blink
Head-on, I calmly face the terror
The light of truth is dark
Of fear, breeding strength
A light in the darkness
Flickers but never disappears
I stare at my weary feet
One, brazen stupidity
Two, skittish resolve
Calling out in bleak waves
"I see you, brother"
"I hear you!"
A cup of water in the ocean
A million eyes see
A million eyes look away
Blizzard to numb the senses
I stare beyond my weary feet
One step to freedom
Tired of drifting at sea? The Isle of Write welcomes thee!

Stunning words. So sad but moving
Thank you. I found comfort in this piece as I wrote it with a heavy heart. Glad you enjoyed it.
This wistful, almost romantic tone makes it seem so beautiful, but the ending is where the real peace rests.
As I was making this poem, I was looking for a different finish but around midway, the piece took its own form and demanded I follow its will. :)
I'm glad I did.
This last line is a doozy, Isagani!
I really like how you build everything, the physical the emotional and the strain of it all, to this precipice that the narrator is standing on.
Then, after 4 line stanzas bring us to the climactic moment, you drop that last line separated out because it knows how great it is.
Thank you for sharing, mate, a fun one for sure.
Like @geekorner said yesterday.
Thank you for the help with this piece. :)
