Not My Time

Not My Time

A Poem by The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)
"

Inspired by 3 Doors Down's song of the same title

"

  

The powers that be step up

To the edge of the shadows.

 

The dirt moves beneath my feet

Giving the illusion of home sweet home.

 

Minions prepare the devil’s lair

With gifts of red wine.

 

The grim Reaper awaits

For me to answer the door.

 

But they don’t understand

It’s not my time…

 

So they can all go straight to hell.

IT'S NOT YOUR TIME. YOU are bigger than all of that. Yes, sometimes the dirt moves under our feet, and it becons...however, it becons someone who is not you. the shadows are in the darkness, and they are attracted to the light, so when you find yourself in the shadows, it is a good sign. Shadows have no need of the darkness, for they are the darkness. When a candle glows in a dark room, the room is no longer dark. In the room with the candle, you will see the shadows because they want something they will never have. LIGHT. YOU are the candle my dear dear friend. YOU can never be succombed by the darkness.

I am passing on the candle here!
Though your poem seems to get grim, dark and gloomy; in the last stanza you show a good example of using your mind over matter! (a pagan principle)
No it is not your time, because your are as strong as your writing!

I read the title of this and I tought of Three Doors Down's song It's Not My Time. I like both the song and the poem. We don't have to follow the Grim Reaper.
