Retracing...

in #poetry6 years ago (edited)

Hello Steemians!!!

I must say it's good to do this after a long time. Going about my daily activities for today, a friend slid into dm to help review a poem after wards I was prompted to write few lines of this poem and somehow found myself writing to the end.

I do hope you enjoy it!.

Micro second, milli second, a second
Minutes, hours, days...
Weeks, months and years
Counting over and again
And the nights seem to be drawing nearer...

Beats like a rolling drum
Everytime a picture or moment flashes back
A moment of guilt, pain yet joy
Pricks this pumping flesh of mine
"It was for the best"
Were the words that fluttered into my mind

Discovery... The next step
Standards were lower to meet his expectations
Yet memories and moments were created
I traveled on feet to miles and distance
For your happiness was my deepest concern

Now for every tear that drops
It becomes a light unto my path of discovery
That I wish you could journey with me on
Yet I fear your strong will might pull me back
So I would rather journey alone for now
Till I discover myself.

Please kindly share your thoughts if you liked it.
