Poetic Friday

(Photo credit)

Long time ago I used to write poems. I haven't done that in a while and I've never published them (except in my notebook :-)) because I was never really sure of my poetry... Well, now that I blog I thought it would be nice to post an old poem every Friday and give a little background to it. I hope it will get me writing poetry again and I hope you will enjoy it too...

THE PLAY

In its beauty,

I boast.

In its stillness,

I rest.

In its gentleness,

I am meek.

In this life

I am merely a character

who changes with the scenes.

In its violence,

I fight.

In its agony,

I weep.

In its loudness,

I shout.

To me

Life is a play.

And I...

merely a puppet,

heeding to its will. 

While I was in high school I often felt like i was just going through the motions of life. You know - doing what everybody thinks you should be doing at that particular time so that you don't look or feel awkward. That's why I wrote this poem.I felt like only the things around me controlled how I felt or behaved and I had no control over it. But the Lord taught me to see things His way and I lived happily ever after :-)

I hope you enjoyed the poem. Let me know what you think. Enjoy your weekend.
