A Thousand Miles With Light

"a thousand miles with light"

how does one measure time
is the beginning of a journey the start...
it lies within the middle where the story is told
for this is the place where our travels unfold

when walking a thousand miles don't look away
advance to the yellow brick road proud and tall
the measure of time truly is the middle and core
allow the center flight to encourage you to soar

destiny and faith lie within these sands
let it be said here and now
a thousand miles with light so vowed
belongs to every child every man

Maria Williams June 18, 2017 at 9:04 PM I enjoyed this poem of yours very much Lisa, it touched on many topics that i hold dear, travelling down Lifes Path- loved the reference to the yellow brick road, and light to guide us. You have delivered a true gem here, it has to be a fav...Maria Lisa Ricci June 19, 2017 at 9:38 AM Morning Maria. I'm sorry about the late response. Saying thank you seems meaningless and small for such a review however thank you so very much. Yes, may we all travel with light beauty and life's best not to mention may we follow and travel the yellow brick road always. Have a wonderful morning. I will see you on your page.

You have spread a light with your words that hopefully all will see. Wonderfully written Lisa. Chris Green June 15, 2017 at 12:37 PM Thank you for asking Lisa. I am fine. I just managed to build some walls I can't seem to tear down just yet. Lisa Ricci June 15, 2017 at 12:05 PM Hi Chris. Top of The Afternoon. Thank you very much. I agree may that journey be fruitful and rewarding. Thank you for that as well not to mention your continued generosity. On a different note. I know my post have been few lately but so have yours. I hope its because you're extra busy at work and that life is ok. However I know how life has ups and downs and how changes happen. I just hope you're ok. Have a wonderful afternoon. Stay well. May that light be with you also.
