Dan Kearley Poet Ghazal

Searching For Others

I trek through this desert of life now
Doing all I can that is right now

Unable to see through the darkness
In search of the eternal light now

By being nothing more than a man
Conjuring every ounce of might now

Hoping to find others on their way
I will keep them within my sight now

Continuing throughout all my days
Trying to win this life long fight now

Christine Phillips October 12, 2013 at 4:12 AM Is this age game catching on? yes... many people spend their youthful days doing irrelevant and dangerous things. This poem serves as a good reminder for everyone to value every moment of their days. Treat other with love, respect and compassion... time waits on no man. Conscious words and I hope that you find what you are looking for.

Debbie Guzzi October 11, 2013 at 8:22 PM Glad I caught up to you Dan you don't need 10! BIG HUGS, 5 is a nice number some do go to 15 but wowser that's a lot. Line 2 is either 'the' light or 'thy' light YOU got the hang of it = work on line 5 [shhh star trek?] So glad you are entering the contest. Light & Love
