Now, I Have a Feeling – 0006

    Raw Poetry by Rev. Shakes Spear

    Now, I Have a Feeling

    Never is a long time
    Then just disappears

    When is always weighted
    With either Hope or Fear

    Now, I have a feeling,
    Is all there is to know

    I used to try to fight it,
    But Now? I let it flow.
