Yoni Dvorkis Poet Couplet

Homeward Bound: the Incredible Journey

In the land where ancient curses lie.
I could seek my Home above the sky.

I could ask these questions, meant for me:
Why does lonesome fear enslave the free?

Why would I traverse my lonely path,
When the trail incites such fearful wrath?

When all this time I knew the Hand of God.
Would rescue me from my hollow facade.

Would I resolve to love and not to hate,
If I knew it would lead to Heaven's gate?

If I knew how my heart sought better days.
In time I'd leave my world of empty praise.

In the land where ancient curses lie.
I could swear to live and not to die.

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen April 22, 2009 at 1:13 PM Great rhyme. And the content each couplet could stand alone, but work together wonderfully to make this poem a pleasant one to read... And that's not empty praise. Keep writing. Dane
