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.

No fear. NO worries. And no surrender. That's the way to tell it. I like the positive attitude.

The ending is great. What a twist! I was thinking how dark this piece seemed from you then "boom". Really fun to read! I enjoyed it.

You told that reaper off LOL! This is a powerful line: The dirt moves beneath my feet

Giving the illusion of home sweet home.

Good imagery my friend.

It's great to read this. All of your lines vibrate with positive energy. That's the way I like to hear from you.

Put on your boots, and clap spurs to your horse cowboy!!!

Yes to life and action - No to sorrow and memory ...!!!

Well done cowboy - this is really good!

A line I very much like is:

-- The dirt moves beneath my feet

-- Giving the illusion of home sweet home.

A definite thumb up!

It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool
