"Believing within another day's growth
another mistake's absolution  
exists a chance to shine  
to bask in the warmth of promise  
to look to the morn
with dewed eyes of hope's potential"

Well said Ken.  A great pen indeed. :)

Good day, Magdalena. Appreciate your kindness :)

Thanks for the read and respect, Scribbler!

GOSH! Love it SMK! I see why you are one of my FAVORITE poets on DU! :)

My favorite part of the poem:

Concussions of fire
plummet down on the earth of my soul  
feeling the ashes of contempt settle
into the drought cracks of my being
sensing the glare of the self righteous
burn my sensitive luster
till I'm naked and bare to the skin
wilted yet never defeated
And grace arose
greeting the salvo of fire  
amidst a war zone
of life fighting for survival  
armed with faith in possibilities
it dared to stand out
dared defy the haters  
dared dream
that replenishing waters  
merely an exhale away
Believing within another day's growth
another mistake's absolution  
exists a chance to shine  
to bask in the warmth of promise  
to look to the morn
with dewed eyes of hope's potential

Yup! Should have just said I love the entire poem, huh?! lol
