A Subtle Journey

A SUBTLE JOURNEY 
I have dipped my feet in the seven seas.
I have seen great wars between adversaries.
Many mountains I have climbed to overcome atrocities.
The ***** I have is from within.
I am on my life journey of refinement. 

Sadness has caught me in the gorge.
I was uplifted by an inner voice.
Hoisted to the peak of joy,
I have wandered to discover what life has in store!

The universe is a space to define.
Crystal ball is rubbed to prophesize.
My itchy feet will not be idled.
I will drop my load of burdens via my travelling.

Richard Lamoureux Date: 8/17/2014 8:09:00 AM I am curious you use dip instead of dipped and climb instead of climbed and hoist instead of hoisted. Is this for a purpose? I find the piece intriguing but am not sure if the use of these words had distracted me from my full appreciation of the piece. Login to Reply Verlena S. Walker Date: 8/17/2014 1:54:00 PM I have correct these errors Rick. Don't know why I made them. So times these situations occur. LOL Verlena, sending you a hug... Verlena S.

Jan Allison Date: 8/16/2014 4:23:00 PM its more like an incredible adventure than a subtle journey Verlena. Good luck in the contest:- Hugs Jan xx Login to Reply Verlena S. Walker Date: 8/16/2014 6:00:00 PM I like subtle to mean to search for intelligence Jan... And, that is what is incredible. Verlena
