At the Ledge

My eyes can see as far as the horizon.

Strong wind beats against my face,

Penetrates into my head,

Mixes and flows randomly

With the confused thoughts inside.

I am at the ledge.

Wonderful view, beautiful scenery.

I have come this far, now what should I do?

“Forwards ever, backwards never!” the achiever’s motto.

Wise words of folly, where would they put me!

But what difference would there be, a step forward

Or a step back, the world will still be dark.

There’s pressure here,

Pressure there,

Pressure everywhere.

But once more I retreat,

Clinging onto the hope of some light

At the tunnel’s end, whenever that will be.

(Poem I wrote on 7/23/2008)

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." (Isaiah 41:10) :-)

Tomorrow is a better day! God is by your side to stay. Keep on moving! Don't you dare give up! =)
