Like the cold steel blades of winter rain <br />Like the beam of warmth on a summer lane <br />In ways you could explain <br />I descend upon you <br />Even the chosen few <br /> <br />I caress the anvil with a lover's touch <br />I exude an image and appear as such <br />If the truth be known it cuts <br />To the bone <br />I stand alone <br /> <br />I know love and recognise <br />The inevitable compromise <br />I choose to walk the shining path <br />And accept the possible aftermath <br />You may ponder and judge and you might understand <br />This single entity <br />This one man band <br /> <br />And howsoever I meet my fate <br />I can't complain, there's no debate <br />I don't want caffeine free <br />Stimuli sit well with me <br /> <br />Still I grow, still I evolve <br />With a singular resolve <br />One life is all you get <br />With tests and goals we are beset <br />Don't let it end with regret <br /> <br />I live it and love it<br /><br />Esra Sloblock<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/egonesty/
