'I could open to the sky' she said <br />have all my cautions fall away <br />in the wily wind; <br />give in to impulse drive <br />and let life fall <br />all around <br />and call this fate. <br /> <br />I could simply deny myself <br />nothing <br />and accept everything; <br />be the cork <br />on the party scene; <br />some do that. <br /> <br />I could put myself in life's way <br />and hope that something happens to me; <br />that's what I think some people do. <br /> <br />I could stay here and stagnate <br />just to see what will be the end of this <br />stagnate movie reel. <br /> <br />I could cry just to see how many tears can fall. <br />I could end up waiting for that bus of life which never comes. <br /> <br />Maybe it won't be this way always. Maybe one day <br />things will change and landscapes will tilt <br />and I will come falling out <br />in a pretty dress <br />yelling <br />'I told you so. <br />I am alive! <br /> <br />Yeah that how it will be. <br />That's how I want it to be. <br />That's what it needs to be. <br /> <br />Help me please get on that road. <br />Just having trouble finding where <br />is that first step <br />on that road <br />where I need to be. <br /> <br />Humm, just thinking about it <br />is that step. <br />At least now I feel better <br />and Time <br />I feel <br />is smiling on me <br />for being smart enough <br />to reel in the Real.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/open-to-the-sky/
