A Path Fraught With Fear

A path fraught with fear craven cowardice trembling, dissembling unsettling Hovering high above the highest hill beyond Imagination's borders Out of reach, out of touch, unaligned Hope's lost highway hesitant arriving ahead of time illusions intricate, impotent 'Home' - why do we delay

Hello Gershon: You beautifully capture the essence of a journey filled with fear and uncertainty, yet your poem also hints at the hope that lies beyond the horizon. Despite the trembling and dissembling, there’s a sense of anticipation for what lies ahead, a testament to the human spirit’s resilience in the face of adversity. Blessings, Daniel

fabulous and flowing alliterations, Gershon! Each verse was powerful in and of itself. The initial verse caught my attention right away...such power in those words. I often wonder why I allow fear to keep me from embracing hope, the highway to home. Well done, sir! Am faving it, Sara

Very creative alliteration. Hopes lost highway is not a place for the faint of heart! Great job!
