the writer within

I started working on a poem today.
A very, very personal poem.  And it's coming along beautifully and maybe not so much because it is actually beautiful or even well written but because it is a beautiful representation of who I am.  So I will be posting it on here soon.

I just thought that I should warn you. 

:) 

In the mean time, here's a poem I wrote a year ago for my creative writing class.  I loved it then and got some ok reviews on it from class members.  I'm not so in love with it anymore, but I didn't think it was fair that I would tease you with news about writing without showing you something, right? I'm not that cruel.

Reflections on a Sunday Evening

In moments of despair,
In times of desperate need,
I look to you for peace of mind,
For comfort to my soul.

The Journey is long and weary,
The paths all twist and turn.
In this labyrinth of decisions,
I fear I’ve lost my way.

Each road seems worn and weathered,
dread roots me to the ground.
The black obscurity confines,
Which path should I engage?

Then, clearly I recall,
Your promise to the world,
A promise of abiding love,
And the fear is washed away.

Your presence is eternal,
Whatever path I take,
I know I wont be abandoned,
For you have vowed to stay. 


So there you have it, in all it's pretentious glory.  Eat your heart out.
