Wake Up Call

Dark thoughts enter uninvited, 

..yawning with disdain

Nonchalantly settle in 

to gate keep once again

Once again the challenge enters, 

like it did before..

Once again I’m unprepared 

for that knock on the door

Not much one can do about it 

but look on and sigh;

Hoping that a miracle 

may drop out of the sky

No-one’s bullet proof 

no matter what the expert says

Many of us know those bullets

come in many ways..

I like to get on with life 

- not worry what might be

There is always someone else

who’s much worse off than me

Faith keeps those who keep the faith 

be focused and you'll see

Friends will help to carry you 

through great adversity

Strategy I use when 

contemplating what to do..

Not the only one but it’s

the stronger one of two..

Open up my computer

let inspiration flow

Into my world of poetry

I confidently go..

Nothing is impossible

when I am in that zone

I can see forever 

with my friends or on my own

All I need is keep the faith

inside me every day.

Faith, my friends, my poetry

help take the dark away..
