Notes About The Poem

At the End of the Road

At the end of the road
you will find nothing
but yourself looking at you
behind the years you missed.

At the end of the road 
you will search for the friends 
you have never cared about.

At the end of the road you will 
be lost in a small path, 
asking for somebody
to show you the road to walk through.

At the end of the road
you will meet you with yourself, 
walking lost on an empty road
without any support.

Life is what happens between physical birth and physical death. Living is how you choose to interact with all of creation between those same to points. Quote by Bill Baker I enjoyed your poem today, Maria, it was very thought-provoking. It made me stop and ponder upon how I am living my life today. Thanks for sharing your poetry with us, my friend. Hugs, Bill

Dear Maria- what a beautiful poem my friend. Very poignant with a well expressed clear message. The picture you’ve chosen is perfect to accompany your words full of wisdom and indeed a warning of just how much life could be lonely and precious things that could be lost if you don’t open your heart to others. A life without love is a life not lived at all and a long, lonely road ahead. Loved it! Hugs and smiles dear friend xx :):)

How foolish a person can be not to acknowledge that we all need friends. Truly a wonderful, eye-opening poem. Blessings.

Maria; I hope that this isn't the end of the road; a good, but bleak poem. George Harrison sang. "If you don't know where you're going/ Any road can take you there." I like to think of what Lao Tzu said. "It's better to travel well then reach the end."
