To leave the world behind, <br /> <br />Would take the strength of the blind, <br />Would challenge the body and the mind, <br />Are you determined enough to try and find? <br />Find the courage it takes people to work hard, <br />Fight against it but keep a hold of your guard, <br />Look deep into the eyes of your shining knight, <br />What do you see, passion for the love or for the fight? <br />Place your hand on their pulsing chest, <br />Does their maddening heart beat for the upcoming quest? <br />Feel the anticipation roll off them in uncontrollable waves, <br />As your soul searches for a way out of the forbidden caves, <br />Walk away from the unbearable pain in their eyes, <br />Or stand in front of them and wait for their cry’s? <br />Do you lie down and feel your soul rise? <br />As your body stays awake but your heart dies, <br /> <br /> To leave the world behind, <br />Be warned.. It’s hard to remember, then even harder to find..<br /><br />Jodie Louise Pollock<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/leave-the-world-behind/
