Hanging on the edge of time <br />by a sliver of a thought. <br />An impossible dream. <br /> <br />Daring myself to plunge ahead <br />There am I poised. <br /> <br />And I step forward… <br /> <br />Through the icy blasts <br />of wordless reprimands <br />of guilt and remorse <br />of pain, tears <br />and shock- <br /> <br />I find the light <br />at the end of the tunnel. <br /> <br />Passion’s price paid <br />I stand now- <br />Resolute, content, <br />Peaceful and strong. <br /> <br />In life and love- <br />Bound by a circle of <br />Love. <br /> <br />Only love. <br /> <br /> <br />2003<br /><br />Usha Pisharody<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/untitled-2-44/
