My Path Runs Ahead of Me and My Plans
Canto One
written by: Benjamin R Bray
@MrBray317
At first
I can’t so much as crawl
My baby belly
Fun to rest on, but no good
For moving forward
Then I perch myself
Upon the palms of my hands
And the pudgy knots
I don’t yet know
Are called knees
The ungated rooms
Of this giant place
Are mine to explore
Mine to devour
As I giggle through my drool
The big ones
Show so much excitement
When the palms of my hands
Are replaced
By the soles of my feet
Their baby boy
Is growing up so fast
Even though
I’m no taller than the horsey
At least, not yet
NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
Part 1 of my autobiographical series of poetry.
Writing my way through life's journey; finding inspiration in the people who make me feel like I deserve to be here. In their unconditional love that I find what little strength I feel I have to face this overwhelming world. Through my writing I find escape in expression of anything I'm feeling at the moment the pen makes contact with the paper.
