My Favorite (A Love Poem)

Hello All!
Humans plan and God laughs. He certainly has been laughing at me over the last couple of weeks. My to-do list is ever growing. I can hardly keep up. There's no need lamenting that there aren't enough days in the week or hours in each day.
I won't bore you with the details of my list. Instead, I'm sharing a poem (in lieu of one of my favorite blogs from last year). It is a love poem. The subject is not a person or a place. It is about my passion and absolute love of writing.
Enjoy!
Much Love!
Candie

My Favorite

I only fit well
  between these two pages,
  gliding across time
  engaging my various faces.
The ones that work
  versus those that won’t-
  the me’s that are the problem
  are at times, the anecdote.

What could poison the air
  sweetens my paper.
Experience has taught me well
  to avoid unfulfilling capers
  and to retreat from foolish things
  before I become entangled and caught-
  to learn successful strategies
  from the battles I have fought.

Peace, for much too long
  had been the prize of my fight.
A soul without peace
  is a gut wrenching sight
  and since the spirit of truth
  has wrapped itself in my soul,
  nothing will satisfy me
  until my story’s been told.

My eyes remained on this prize,
  evolution created its difference.
The spirit of truth communed with my soul
  to form an everlasting commitment.

Is this love or a distraction?
Whichever way each life goes down-
  there are wars that must be fought
  and we all must choose our ground.

Paper is my favorite.

"My Favorite" is an excerpt
from the book Role Reversal: Turn Pain Into Power

    I want to help uplift, inspire and empower others and to help leave the world a little better than I found it. I am an author, deep thinker & optimist. I know God is love. I am the author of "Candidreams: I Remember the Beginning" and "Role Reversal: Turn Pain Into Power".
    It is never my intent to push my spiritual views on others. I'm just sharing some of my own story in hopes that you or someone else will gain from it and can find some strength and hope in it.  As I am fond of saying:  I'm just giving you a little personal information and insight. What you do with it is completely up to you!
