Life Poems

With Arms Wide Open

With Arms Wide Open

Inspired by the song with the same name by Creed, this is one poem that has different meanings.

standing before the one and only, i stand with arms wide open waiting to receive the judgement that is going to be delivered
my life is about to change and i close my eyes hoping the time that i have to live is given a much needed boost!
with bated breath i wait, unsure of what the powers to be are thinking!
after days of struggle to reach a consensus, it has come to this, time to take the decision is now!
as i take a breath i wait to know my fate i wait to know if my appeal to live life has been granted or denied!
i wait with arms wide open ready to receive the judgement that is going to be handed out to me!

Don’t seal your fate with this. And be prepared for the worst as well. Cos life isnt about all this alone. 🙂

Hope you take this in the right sense.

Ofcourse, this is not the end and as you said life isnt about all this alone 🙂
I am prepared for the best and the worst 🙂

I am just waiting for the judgement, thats all.

What a great little poem to start the day. Very well constructed with flickers of vivid imagery.

ready to receive the judgement
that is going to be handed out to me!

Love the ending.
