A Poetic Pause--"Grab Hold"



Ever been here and not been here?

Yeah, me too!

For much too long now—

Present but absent—

Present in form only.

Gotta leave the fork in the road

You know the one that holds on 

Like quicksand—taunting you as opportunities with paths

But not letting you go either way

You fight for awhile

Strong and vigorous at first

Then your energy wains

And you barely have strength

To stand, or keep your head up

And you feel as if you’ve sunk too

Low that you may not make it

As you prepare to draw that last breath

Then a hand appears

Beckoning you to grab hold


And you do!
