Life Is a Journey

Why do sad tears come to me at night? Life is a journey, is that my beloved in the light? Life is a journey. Oh, turn back the pages of the tangled path I have lived, from a small girl it has been a fight! Life is a journey. In dreams I see the beautiful faces of the long dead, I should be scared as it is a fright! Life is a journey. Come, my ghosts whisper soft to me, your lips we want to kiss, when I try to hold them- they take flight! Life is a journey. Down a long winding road I bring red roses for the dead, and that evening, I will sadly write! Life is a journey. I am heartbroken but I can still fly and soar up high, I can go to an amazing height! Life is a journey. _______________________ March 16, 2016 Poetry/Ghazal/Life is a Journey Copyright Protected, ID 16-768-983-0 All Rights Reserved. Written under Pseudonym.

I really like the soaring part. The really neat thing about it is that we can look at a lot of different things at once while we're up there doing that. You are a real heart of gold with wings that will take you higher and higher. If there is a breakthrough there to be had, it will be you that will experience it--of that I am certain. Best wishes to you on this Sunday. For me who is looking to live simply, your words lead to a space filled with imagination and hope.

Charlie, thanks for the compliment, for the art I do a lot of research, if I cannot find a matching pic to the poem, I use none, I am not an artist but love art, going to the art gallery is an all day beautiful journey, and I am starting to do photography, I just need to figure out this new camera ~
