Soul Journey:

May you find peace and happiness within, As the darkness fades your light shall ignite, Your soul unburdened by troubles and sins, For this is your immortal sacred rite. If the Milky Way is the path of souls, Then the stars within it are souls reborn, So let this be your ambition and goal, For when your body is destroyed and worn. Angels of heaven may bring joy to you, But joy is fleeting compared to substance, Demons and evil can fill your head too, Salvation lies in the heart of romance. Within your soul is the key to success, Expecting more, expecting nothing less. /|\ (Ten syllables per line)

Interesting write, Rick. I found the reference to the Milky Way quite intriguing. Never thought of it as the path of souls. The spiritual references in your poem give one food for thought. Thanks for sharing.

Btw, in regard to your comments on "Fast Learner." It was another family I was writing about. My father was a auto factory worker in the 60's which was good money back then. We weren't rich, but we had enough. Anywho, read my poem, "Your Story." That clears up a lot about me. Love you, mate.
