Asked Twice

Introverted Sage

Asked for a sip of rain
Weather man now forcasts a hurricane.
I might say,
This whole ask and you shall receive thing
Is getting a bit insane.
Time to refrain my brain.
Second time I asked
First time was just a game.
And then it came.
Kind of made my day.
All in the word play.

So pray for our Souls
Released from the holds
Futures look gold
Cause we shattered their molds.
And let the truth be told.
We’re coming on strong, bold.
Cards on the table
No need to fold.
Helps me unload.
Strengthens my growth.
Master water or fire
I would say both.
Even freed a few ghosts.
No longer playing host.
All the books you read
Experience will teach the most.

    Nicely reflective and neatly foretold…power holds special powers and be careful what you wish for -lol

    so true, especially that last line dear Poet
    people rarely realise
    books are woven from other people's experiences of life
    so yes, it's a vital tool to read
    and heed other people's examples
    of do's and dont's
    but
    if we choose to experience a diverse life
    for ourselves
    we can write, the books
    not juts read them...
    (thank you!
    this is an insightful
    well thought-out write
    and a great read!)

    Amen!
    'LET's GO!'

      Yes! Let's Go!! We're so much more than most of us understand.
      '..and as much as I like reading books, I got a few stories of my own to tell.'
      Thank you!!

      This one reads like a long hard look at oneself
      ":helps me unload:
      " even freed a few ghosts "
      If you are gonna look
      Look deep
      You might just find it
      Super read great results

      • Introverted Sage

        You're good!
        It is just that.. seeing all of yourself - the darkest parts - what you are capable of and choosing better.
        Water and fire a reference to the emotions.
        Thank you!
