Destruction Of A Soul <br />by Barbara Lynn Terry <br />Tuesday, May 17,2005 <br /> <br />Born free, as free as the wind blows... <br /> <br /> <br />Have you ever watched the clouds in the sky, <br />Some very white and fluffy, others, dark and ominous, <br />Some so very wispy, that don't amount to much? <br />Have you ever watched the clouds moving along, <br />On a nice sunny day and in no real, particular hurry? <br />Have you seen the funny formations they make, <br />Changing themselves in the strong currents of the wind? <br />Have you ever laid back, and watched those same, <br />Clouds pass over the moon, on a warm clear night? <br /> <br />Have you ever watched the destruction of a human soul, <br />Who in sadness and anguish, loses the will, <br />To continue in something that has eluded it for always, <br />Oh so close and yet so very far away? <br />A soul who is still strong, but weakening with time, <br />A soul who is brave, but finds no shame in cowardice, <br />A soul who has been dragged and tortured in the ring of fire, <br />A soul that can no longer abide without the love, <br />Of her man, still so very far away and ethereal. <br />A love that was promised on bended knee, <br />A love she knows will come when he will be, <br />Through with his mandatory tests, <br />So that he can follow his dream, his goal, his life. <br /> <br />But my life? My goal? My dream? If only I could've seen, <br />That they disappear as the clouds, gone with the wind.<br /><br />Barbara Lynn Terry<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/destruction-of-a-soul/
