Is There?

Is there still a special place for me
where all will so forever be?
At last instances hanging still
I turn and break my sanity’s will

Conception of the heart’s desire
burns my muse with such a fire,
and all that I have said and done
has been for naught – I’m overrun.

Decide now to turn away
before things break my ember sway
that curses me each retreating step;
I have only this one thing left.

So on the road that path I take
and choose the nobler for my sake;
but also theirs – my family
for else is there that composes me?

well then... you just completely threw me through a loop...

and right when i thought i had you pegged.

nicely done this way also, rick.

the only suggestion i can make... the last line drops the rhythm a little. could it possibly be switched up?

Nice one! Its actually far easier to read than your longer pieces, though I'd attribute this to format and the fact that I'm lazy and hate reading long things anyway.

Thanks for sharing!
