Hello everyone! It's Day 24 of National Poetry Month. It's the final day of spotlight being given to Waves to Light. Today's poem is none other than "Waves to Light" itself. Enjoy!
Waves to Light
I’ve made resolutions
That caused me to end up
In a mental institution.
I had good potential
That kept getting pushed
To the backside
Until it became distant,
Then later disappeared.
I made vows
To do things differently.
I frantically searched
For a lifesaver,
Only to find them stolen
By things of the past.
But this time,
I spoke of no promises.
And this time,
I made no vows.
In the ocean of my silence,
Actions rose to the forefront
To make a way out
Before I talked too much.
On the surface,
I didn’t seem ‘bout it.
Really, I ain’t saying much
so I can be all about it.
No more delays;
No more somedays.
All of that is being replaced
With right nows
And todays!
No more perhaps.
So long to maybes.
My essence says it’s time
To achieve my destiny.
