Adrift on the passion of life
I set course for the promise land.
Entranced by the beauty
held within this dream
I let my mind wander and roam
exploring all the possibilities.
Soft colours mold themselves
well to the aspirations of the heart,
urging me on towards the greatness
that is my destiny....
I throw my head back and
open arms wide to allow the
hopes of tomorrow to invade
and conquer my deepest fears.
Allowing for nothing to stop me......
Chimera's tread silently upon my wake
ever a reminder of the path I chose
If ever I should stray.....
I need only to look back to see that
my future is waiting right there in front of me.
And so I take the hand of Karma
and give her free reign to be
the dream that shall keep me awake.

Holy Smokes JCat...
It has been too long since I've last read you, what an unbelievable and inspiring piece of powerful poetry you've penned here. WOW! I'm impressed, so delighted to have landed here tonight.
I can't even begin to choose my favorite line, for it is all so masterly pieced together, every word, line and stanza, all so relevant to that course ~ Poetry fueled with so much passion. I just simply loved it.
Congratulations Honorable Winner.

... I love your closing thoughts. They played not only into the theme of the contest but into my own thought schemem as well. It is a most enjoyable read. Thank you for sharing your words with me and best wishes to in all of your endeavors. Keep that quill dipped in ink and ever ready for use dear poet. Good luck in the contest!

this was very good, although i must say on the line "Soft colours mold them themselves", I don't think you need the word "them". If you took that out, it still would make sense. It seems pointless to have them both in there.
