Bare Contender

Bare Contender

A Poem by Chilson, Joshua
"

The greats have left their impression, we can only leave our own by being ourselves.

"
No Columbus
These waters are charted
By those before me.

My ocean
Rests in the recesses
Of fading memories.

With no confines
Nor syllables or rhymes
To keep me in line.

As words
Can paint the beauty
Or birth tragedy.

For our greats
Have left their impression
On minds sand.

Greeting bare contenders
Armed with pale words
That fall upon poets past.
