HERE I STAND

Here I stand in the beating rain
Storm like monsoon
My hair soaked
My dress clinging to my body
I wipe the rain of my face

If I go left, will I arrive where I want to be?
If I go right, will I aspire to my goal?

I can’t decide, it’s hard to say
Where I came from I had everything
Then something died, deep inside
And the road became hard to climb
It’s like a fog, still in my mind
Yet now I feel, I have arrived at a turning point

If I go left, will I arrive where I want to be?
If I go right, will I aspire to my goal?

I want to fill my heart with dreams
The dreams I carried along with me
They’ve been with me a long, long time
Stashed away here in my mind
Yet now it’s time to see them through
So where will I go, what will I choose?

If I go left, will I arrive where I want to be?
If I go right, will I aspire to my goal?

What is my goal, I ask myself!
I know it’s love I want to give
Yet I know just how best to do
This thing in a poetic show
So I write words that cross my mind
To show you all my heart inside

If I go left, will I arrive where I want to be?
If I go right, will I aspire to my goal?

I do aspire me to be a poetess
Who loves to see, and break the seen
Down into words, with ink that flows
I want to dedicate this day these words
To Brother Marlon Red Poet Ewing
‘Cause what we did is, go right through
Something together…GOAL!

If I go left, will I arrive where I want to be?
If I go right, will I aspire to my goal?

Now I will chose which way to go
And since it’s not for politics
Just a route I take, I chose the right
So that I aspire to my might
A wordsmith of a different kind
PoeDes Poetess
With words longlived

If I go right I can’t go wrong!
