Each Day's Travels Just An Echo of Time
Each Day's Travels Just An Echo Of Time
New dawn and I read that great epic book,
Simple verses of life and its clear tolls.
Reading one can clearly see what it took,
Faith, understanding and setting firm goals.
Seeking anew, a better life sublime,
Listening to words written by a sage.
Each day's travels just an echo of time,
Finding wisdom to live in this dark age!
Walking along a bad path, life's black share,
Hides a quiet spot that soothes man's sad soul.
If found, it gifts so much and life seems fair,
Sailing forth, life's ship on a gentle roll.
Even in deep waves of wild, stormy seas,
One stands tall, not fallen on bended knees!
