Glory falls around us
as we sob
a dirge of
desolation on the Cross
and hatred is the ballast of
the rock
which his upon our necks
and underfoot.
We have woven
robes of silk
and clothed our nakedness
with tapestry.
From crawling on this
murky planet's floor
we soar beyond the
birds and
through the clouds
and edge our waays from hate
and blind despair and
bring horror
to our brothers, and to our sisters cheer.
We grow despite the
horror that we feed
upon our own
tomorrow.
We grow.
Maya Angelou
A/N: This one reminds me of a battle to defeat depression. I'm still trying, but this poem inspires me a lot... I hope it inspires you guys too! I like how the speaker lives a murky and dark life, yet still grows and learns and becomes a better person every day.
