The Path

by D.A. Michael

Sometimes
I walk the path with you
To talk and share
The struggles of my week
My thoughts and feelings
The hopes and dreams you already know
My silly plans that waste my time
You know them

You know my dark corners
Where I hide my shame
You know the light inside
Shadowed by clouds of fear
Made from the lies I tell myself
And those that others make me carry
You know them

My struggles
Were made in this world
Imperfect and torn
Not made to challenge me
Borne to remind me
Of those who came before
Who knew you but were afraid
To walk in the light
You know them

Sometimes
I walk the path with you
To feel your grace
Healing me
Reminding me
The peace you give
I yearn to share with others
Over my walls
In the light
From your blood
Shed for us

D. A. Michael has been drawn to poetry ever since he learned to read. He loves that poetry can be a story or a lyric about anything and uses words and rhythm to help the reader feel the intent. It can be feeling-provoking as well as thought-provoking. He is a disabled veteran from the United States, over 50, and after all these years, is finally beginning to share his poetry with others, and that makes him nervous.
