I Don't Know

Flora armstrong 1990 (Athens TN)

Free verse
The winds of the heart may
Blow me down,
But I get right up and
stand my ground.
I've tasted fear my share of
pain,
The wasted tears of love in
Vein.
I know what I want I know
what I need.
Now there is just one thing
I need to believe.
That deep in the night by a
cold dying flame,
You will be there when I call
Your name.
I'm sure I can face the bitter cold,
But without you I Don't Know
