Face to Face

Face to Face

Eyes of fiery crimson
staring at the moon
in wonder and confusion

Intuition tip toes
into each heart
and fear
makes it clear

Now face to face
with fate and hate
it’s time to make a move

what it boils down
to
is
it’s you vs me
because we will not see
eye to eye

we need to co-exist
whether Lamb of God
or Tyger, Tyger

“In what furnace was thy brain?”
Face to Face with shame
Let the shelves of history books refrain
we decided to retire and not ignite the fire

We often forget our purpose
We often forget we are all a part of each other

I believe a poem can change your life forever. I know many poems I read as a child made a difference in my life. I learned to believe in me. My senses started living along side me. My appreciation for nature and life increased by one hundred percent. As a result I paint, love photography, and I listen and try to pay attention a little bit more to everything around me. I also became a teacher to honor all those teachers who set me straight about life and learning.

    We all are constrained to face the facts of life on daily basis; we accept it or not that hardly matters. We’ve to fight our own Waterloo according to our conviction and circumstance in which we are put.
    Thanks for sharing a beautiful poem, relevant for all in fact.
