Hesitation

June 2, 2009
By Anonymous

Shaking like a leaf
I await a stronger wind
My awakening

Apprehensively,
I gaze to greener pastures
Fear pecks my conscious

When life gives you lemons make iced tea because you make your own paths in life not fallowing behind others, true love never dies, don't give up on your dreams, if you shoot for the moon and miss don't worry because you'll land among the stars.

This is a great poem. Nice, short, to the point, not wordy. It’s my style. Do you mind looking at my poem “the sky” too?
