A Poem from the The Poet and His Thoughts Collection
Beyond Myself - Viewed 512 Times
David Devaney
Website
December 27, 2007
I have lived each conversation
I have loved and laughed and cried
And everything I have achieved
Will never be denied
I have too in life been intimate
Known anger and great fear
Been saddened by life’s emptiness
And shed a lonely tear
I have battled complications
Ambition and great wealth
And lived too often all alone
With no great need for stealth
I have touched upon the wonderment
Of God and all he’s shared
Through him found great elation
When I had been despaired
And when I look around about
At images not me
I find a life tumultuous
That all the world does see
It’s then I reconnoiter
To see where I have been
So I can as the rising sun
A new day here begin
I choose not repetition
As forward I do flow
Seeking new experience
So I can stronger grow
And too the great excitement
That comes from unknown things
The passion and the energy
That new love always brings
It’s all these recollections
Of tomorrows yet unknown
That help me step beyond myself
As seeds of life are sewn
