The world was waiting at my feet
I blithely kicked it aside
and watched it skitter down the street
the prodigal son of pride,
I booted every chance I had
so certain there’d be more
but now I’m feeling slightly sad
my toes a little sore
if only I could curb this curse
of being so blasé
my lark through limbo might reverse,
desire one deed away.

ReplyDeleteBob,
ReplyDeleteSometimes we all throw away chances. Always certain of another second chance....
I suppose it is human(nature) to err....

Always put off for more
ReplyDeleteNever should be done
Then life becomes a chore
Until it ends its run
With a talent like yours there will always be another chance waiting around the corner...One of these days! ;)
ReplyDeleteLoved this poem. After your toe gets sore enough, you stop kicking and take a chance!
