My Striving After Wind Poem by Godspower Oshodin

My Striving After Wind

Rating: 1.8


My eyes in look at empty spaces
I’m so close, but on futile traces
The dim of materialism is light to me
The flames of wealth are cool to thee.
I drew dreams dramatically,
Relaxing on pleasures emphatically
Yet, I call for a life worthwhile
It’s a quest quaking futile.

I’m insatiable, this life on throne
My sacred life is stiffening like stone.
In sacred mission I refuse
Only to the peak of wealth I transfuse.
I sense this long journey cut short
I’m revoking the ways of my thought.
Today I give closely this poetic hind
I agitate my striving after wind.

A great piece of writing within this poem, its dramatic flow keeps a reader on edge but is let down softly onto the ground by its calm, and thoughtful ending - Just like a storm? ? hahaha Enjoyed this one intently, Mel xxx
