Walking with life.

I met her by the station
She found me when I was down, contemplating
She spoke in a soft voice
How can I help you from deteriorating?

In reply I said
There's nothing you can do
I'm already dead
In a mocking tone she called to me
Told me that everyone has problems
Come walk with me to that great big willow tree

I nodded and followed
Every step painted a picture on the pavement
Each one an old memory of my sorrow
She lifted up my chin and told me not to look
If I lingered on those images
It would be the last chapter in my book

I looked up to see
That the world was full of disaster
but hidden within all of this was a spot of glee
We continued on our path
She asked me about my past
I ignored her saying that all that remained were deep scars

We found our selves a spot in the shade
She sat down and beckoned me to do the same
She pointed up to an individual leaf
Said it was there for a purpose
Even though it was small and insignificant
It was there to make a difference

You are like this leaf
Even tho you might not see it
You are here for a reason
Embrace it

For the first time I tried to look over
At the women that had spoken to me
I was completely stunned
I was the only one under the tree...

Thank you for reading ☺

That was a great read, I'll follow you as I'm curious to read more from you!

I've been at times in communication with myself, so intense it almost feels as if I'm talking with someone else. So in short: I feel you!

Me myself, I'm currently writing a story on travel in the 21st century, but mostly focused on what causes someone to travel and how their life is afterwards. A lot of people coming back from a longer trip feel purposeless, which really seems to be a key subject in your poetry, hence I figured you might enjoy it: https://steemit.com/travel/@martibis/when-the-road-calls-1

You use vivid imagery to create the illusion of the "woman." I did enjoy the guidance provided by a seemingly separate character when in actuality it became the speaker's inner voice. I have found myself contemplating at times why our inner voice does in fact sound like someone else's voice entirely. Is it a defense mechanism? I am also curious, what made you choose to have a woman be the voice?

It's the embodiment of life to me, life creates everything as woman create life within every person, I also listen to suggestions more easily if it's by a woman

Good choice :) I appreciate it

Congratulations! :) And another nice poem. I wrote one too today, do check it out if you have some time! :) Keep up the good work!

Will do, thank you :)

What a wonderful poem. I really, really liked it. I even think that this is one of my favorites. It really made a profound point that there are reasons we are here in the now and that we have to embrace our situation. We may not understand or like what we see and do, but in hindsight, we will have that aha moment....... Cabbagepatch

Very true indeed, I love here and now, it's the best place to be living in

Touched. Keeping up bro! You can also upvote my posts, and I'll be glad :)
