Beneath The Rock

Free Verse, Written in response to a contest

Beneath the Rock

Safely Stay

Content, Contained

In this perfect cleft

Sheltered safe from the fiercest storm

Gently caressed by His tender touch

Resting upon His chest safe, warm

No enemy could attack me

For your strength was my protection

Your gentle heart my guide

Constantly assured You'll never leave me

That You'll be by my side

 

Beneath the rock

Trapped contained

Freedom seeking want to do my thang

Longing for greener pastures

Don't know they're over the septic tank

 

Which spirit will I follow

Which source will be my guide

The choice is totally mine

What side of life will I give a voice

Great poetry and your use of poetic licence is simple astounding. My favourite verse is Which spirit will I follow

Which source will be my guide

The choice is totally mine

What will life will I give a voice
because im such a bugger for the spirit we all follow :)
I like the way you showed that basic instinct we have when we cling to someone because they are our defence and heart to all that we have and hide against.
Great poem
I hope you do well
Ted.

I enjoyed this image of hiding under a rock for safety and then on to seek freedom and knowing that you have a choice. I like the way you ended this poem.
