For some god knows reason I’ve decided to let you see a little poem I’ve written. I originally wrote it to email to the other members of the psychotherapy training course I’m doing instead of sending a Christmas card (which I couldn’t afford to do anyway – see
Back in the water, unfortunately it's Shit Creek), unfortunately, I’ve lost all of their details and so won’t be able to let them read it until my next course day at least.
Now there are a couple of things I feel I need to state before letting you read it.
- I’m not a poet. As will become excruciatingly obvious to you once you’ve read it I’m sure.
- If it seems a bit heavy or angst ridden then all I will say is - see (1) and that is was written for a group of friends with whom I’m taking a rather deep and meaningful journey with so naturally a bit of, hopefully, deep and meaningful writing is entirely appropriate.
- Yes I do know how egotistical it looks but hey this is my blog so I can do what the hell I like.
- Please feel free to give me some feedback. This is the first poetry I’ve written for about 13 years so I’m pretty curious what other people think of it.
May Be StillorFootprints in the SnowI may be walking in the darkStill there’s a path in front of meMy eyes they may be closedBut still I’m trying to seeThis room it may be silentStill I can hear you knockPast times they may be frozenStill I try to start the clockThe way it may be treacherousBut still I’m reaching for the peakThis voice it once was stolenBut now I try to speakI’ve not wandered down this road beforeI wonder where I goI wonder if you’ll be there tooNot just footprints in the snow.
