From the abyss...!

[combatace]

I felt the cold, since my first beat,

The sky was cold, the earth was cold,

All in despair, I cried and cried,

I wiggled, I kicked, I scratched and I bit,

But there was no warmth, the one I need.

 

Then came the voice, from a distant land,

It was sweet, and it was warm,

It called for me, every now and then,

To give the warmth and the comfort I need.

 

It was the journey too long, but I walked and I walked,

Though the days were cold and the nights were dark,

From infant to teen to adult I grew, but I walked and walked,

For it hailed for me in eager and eager.

 

To this day I walk and I walk,

Let days be cold and nights be dark,

For voice that called, now sings for me,

Though in distance, I know not far,

For the warmth of it, touches my heart.

 

For days to come, and nights to pass,

I'll walk and walk, and walk and walk,

For I know one day, I will be there,

For the warmth and comfort will all be mine.

Pretty good.

 

Makes me picture a person born into poverty, genocide, you name it, currently locked in the pursuit of liberty, opportunity, and happiness.

 

"For I know one day, I will be there"

 

"There" could be a physical destination with such the qualities the person seeks, or it could simply be the life status that the person desires.

Aah! atleast someone read it and even replied to it. Thanks mate.

No problem. Clearly you put effort into the composition; I know I'd appreciate someone saying something if I was in your position.

Wow, I have been feeling lonely the past few days, but you didn't have to write a poem for me.

 

Good work, it is something that can apply in a variety of situations, whether it be finding the right woman or finding the right place for you on earth(or maybe off it if you so choose).

Thanks both of you. I was feeling lonely too when I wrote that.
