Led To Greater Things Poem by Bill Cantrell

Led To Greater Things

Rating: 5.0


I refuse to wait for a song of salvation
I must take the moment at hand
For music mocks time,
And I am no ones pawn
I need no mediator to relate the colors of life
I have patiently held my words,
And every song is begging to distort my poetry
Yes, the blues is a woman wanting my soul
I very well know every step of her dance,
Looking at others while I kiss her neck
Poetry is different,
She is faithful and forgiving
A mother,
A wife,
Willing to wait for her man
She leads me to greater things,
And asks nothing in return,
Whereas the blues demands I burn
Yet, I will indeed burn,
But on my terms,
As poetry sees fit

Blues is trying to steal you away from the faithful poetry which you write. A wonderful poem dear Bill.

Nice presentation of the demands of poetry and music. One who is not a musician cannot have this vision which you have so beautifully personified and clarified in an intense and very truthfully way. A very different poem, that presents a very interesting subject, very well handled in a most poetic and artistic way. Reaches far.

Taking a moment of music at hand right at now is definitely very interesting. She is faithful and forgiving in nature and this motivates mind entirely. This poem is very nicely and excellently penned...10
