A Poem From Barbara Kasey Smith’s Corner Of The World
Life like barren limbs…
weather beaten, warped and worn
a nuisance in a field of daisies
memories pure as gold.
Survival robs a body of its form
brings humbleness to a soul.
A display of hollow, bare twigs
undressed, dormant and needing renewal.
Exposes the harshness breathing brought
to a foundation once strong and full of strength.
Struggles and temptations not kind to its frame
flaccidity steals a muscular well-built physique.
A human left standing among elements
brings decay, destruction and wear
sucks out its physical power, resistance and resolve
to deplete a life once vibrant and strong
leaves a human waiting for the power
from a higher authority to keep them heroic.
Life like barren limbs…
