Blood LineA Poem by Derek Smith
Another familiar night passes by as I sit by the open window.
My eyes overlooking the window pane, past the open glass. Deep into the night I stare and ponder, far and wide my eyes scan. They see only what the moonlight reveals, what will it reveal to me? I've say and wondered about this life, this night seems stuck on repeat. As I find myself here constantly, here in this sturdy old and creaky woodgrain chair. Looking up I close my eyes and pray to any higher deity willing to help. Quietly I let out my faint whispers, my words travel from mouth to midnight sky. Hoping my prayers are heard, I sit awaiting for a sign...nothing..just a Howl from the wind. I should know how it works by now, allow me to rephrase my cry for help. Please whoever may hear me, I ask not that you do my work, but show me what my work is. In a bright flash of burning white, as if God himself came into my waking dreams. There in his words he showed me the entire scheme, " do as you will" he said to me. This was the night I learned I wasn't worthless, I was meant for so much more. Not for people to chant my fame or even fear the sounds of my name. Slowly my core starts to boil, hope and passion rising, coursing through my blood. I am here to be nothing short of great, and great is what I'll be. To keep my blood line going, growing, and ever evolving. Adapting is what I know, instinctive to the core, forever embedded inside of me. Continuing to grow further more, adapting from mediocre to great. I shall do what I must to keep pride inside my name. Just like the indelible words of Poe, I'll never stop growing, "forever more" For no one will stop me and take what's mine as their claim. No power can stop the growth and evolution of my blood line. Even long after I've left this world all will know of my generations to come. Because just as he late great Bruce Lee said " live a life worth remembering. " That is exactly what I'm doing "living a life worth remembering" My legacy will be carried by future blood lines and they will flourish. So always remember... © 2014 Derek Smith |
