Emblematic

November 12, 2018 in Poetry

Never meant to be a symbol.

There are others who came before.

They carried the cross long before me.

I walk their path with head held high;

A journey emblematic of the times.

 

Getting here took some time.

Determination of Napoleon…

The grit of John Wayne…

The courage of the Cowardly Lion…

All emblematic of what was required.

 

Now, I am free.

Life is different now.

I am surrounded by those who matter.

Their love consumes like the ocean.

I am planning on drinking it in.

What happens next is meant for me.

 

Be good to each other,

-Nathan
