Emerson Was Right

"My giant goes with me wherever I go." Ralph Waldo Emerson


Some believe
they can receive
release from deep woe
if they go 
to an exotic island~~NO!

A very wise poem this is dear janice, you are right. It isnt the place or exoticness of a place that really gives happiness and inner peace, but the light within is! What youv conveyed here in few words is profound and soulful! Pleasure reading your poem! Sending you light always
