October Poems 2024 >> though here i die

October Poems 2024
A poem for each day of the month in which I was born
 
DAY 19
though here i die
 
i am an iamb
deep down in my heart,
yet you ask why am
i falling apart!
 
i’ve been the storm man
on rocky paths thrown,
yet i know i can,
where eagles have flown.
 
bitter the dewdrops
i milk from harsh soil,
yet there are few drops
from which i would coil.
 
sweeter the moments
hope promises me,
yet all life’s torments
must first bruise the knee.
 
He is my I AM,
deep down in my soul;
though here i die, am
i in His control.
