Sometimes lucky with a pointed word
One that sticks in just the right place
Sometimes a cool, smooth phrase
Stumbled upon purely by chance
Otherwise shunned, avoided, forsaken, denied
A penchant for grace that’s never fully realized
Wanting to soothe all the troubled souls
Wanting to save the world from itself
i have a big "want to save the world" bone...ugh, sometimes to a fault...and know too that i cant...
ReplyDeletetotally smooth.
ReplyDeleteYep... lots of us have a Jesus complex!
ReplyDeleteI would so love to save the world, wrap it up in a big nursery rhyme and nuture her as we all need to be. Dare to dream! That's the power of the poet :) (And thanks for the great comment at my place too...gave me a big smile!)
ReplyDeleteI'd rather not bear that responsibility but I am kind of a slacker at times :)
ReplyDeleteAs always, nicely done. I feel for the captain, sailing stormy seas. I have my hubby with whom to stand at the helm and that helps, but trying to keep the ship upright in the tempest can be exhausting.
