Pledges Made

For now I am just trying
To keep my head above waters, "walk through"
I am swimming, floating, holding onto faith
Avoidance of obstacles on dersert lands, prickly 


Grey on my bare foot, "best try"
Marking passage on my foot path
I am red clothed, red blood
Ready a' willing to face the Red mist, "fire flame"


This is my way  of staying clear
Off titanic faithless, I have to make it
Of iceberg I stay clear off, "I try to"
Unwanted troubles, they spiral,
Many beneath waters "unseen"


Shore line
Spells my saving grace
Fearful it stands
In the foot steps of mirage, "I pray not"


This is the assault course 
Of life before making hay, on desert walk 
This is resolution's take, "on 40 days"
This is the pledge on my honour
To make it through the red mist

  1. Shore line / Spells my saving grace / Fearful it stands / In the foot steps of mirage, "I pray not"

    Great sense of rhythm to your lines that works well with the questioning, sense of spiritual journey aspect of your poem. Way to respond to the challenge, Kodjo!

  9. This is my way of staying clear
    Off titanic faithless, I have to make it
    Of iceberg I stay clear off, "I try to"
    Unwanted troubles, they spiral,
    Many beneath waters "unseen"

    so many beneath waters "unseen" ... all any of us can do is try.
