A PIVOTAL MOMENT

A PIVOTAL MOMENT

I’M AT THE POINT IN LIFE
WHERE A DECISION MUST BE MADE,
DO I TAKE THIS JOURNEY WITH YOU IN THE SUN,
OR SHOULD MY HEART CONTINUE 
TO SHELTER IN PLACE.

OUR FIRST CONNECTION 
ENDED WITH AN INFECTION,
WHICH CAUSED A REJECTION 
TO THAT HEARTFELT CONNECTION,
AND WE WENT OUR SEPARATE WAYS.

NOW HERE WE ARE,
TRYING TO REVIVE WHAT WAS,
AND HOPING THAT THIS TIME 
IT EMBODIES TRUE LOVE.

BUT WE BOTH HAVE OUR HIDDEN FEARS,
OF THAT WHICH HAD DISAPPEARED,
AS WE LOOK BACK TO THOSE WASTED YEARS,
AND NIGHTS OF SILENT TEARS.

AND THE TRUTH IS,
MY HEART STILL YEARNS FOR YOU,
AND DAY BY DAY, 
MY LOVE GROWS STRONGER,
AND I CANNOT TAKE IT ANY LONGER 
OF LIVING MY LIFE WITHOUT YOU.

SO I’LL TAKE THE CHANCE 
OF FINDING TRUE ROMANCE 
WITH THE ONE MY HEART 
CANNOT RESIST.

WILFORD BARKER.

Hey Shaun.. love your choice of encouraging words.. ‘Your message is not lost.”
i was feeling like this poem was long forgotten my friend.. but it is truly what’s going on in my life right now..
and I write mostly to have my thoughts stored up where I can easily retrieve them.
kinda selfish right? Lol.
Nevertheless.. Thanks the resurrection of this piece… and I am honored by your kindness.

Wilford good to hear from you and have been out of loop for awhile.
That's life I guess. And nothing in it is all sweetness and roses, for we all need to let off steam and what better way than through words.
Hang in there and respect to you and always a pleasure to read you and what you offer.
