Line of Life

by Misstress   Oct 4, 2006


When fate begun to pursue us
Time pauses for a moment
and starts again

When vows are broken
Reality freezes into a dream
to start again

When miracles are far too rare
Prayers will shelter faith
to start again

When life stumbles at defeat
Tears become stepping-stones
in starting again

In starting again
We will notice
Life standing right back
at the beginning

- Circle of Life? For me its a straight line, only inclined; when we stumble at some point, we slide back down at the beginning, and whats at the top? perhaps a new beggining.-

    Misstress,
    I have read your poem...
    Your words and expressions are powerful.
    And the most beautiful part is, that it is constructive...it gives hope...to our failures of life...that we never wish...but remind us of our reality...and perhaps also define that we are humans at the end...and not Gods...I will read more of your poems...5/5

    I really like this. It's different to what i usually read i think, and i like it alot. I like poems about life, and you have much talent in writing them. After reading the last part of this poem especially about the Circle of Life, i was in awe. I just said wow, and i don't have words to describe the talent and intellegence you have to write something so good. It has got me thinking, and i think that is the best ending to a poem. It's very clever. An excellent write. Please keep it up, you have such talent! =] 5/5 - If only i could rate higher, i would.
