Notes About The Poem

The Journey-SHM


The JOURNEY began a long time ago,
traversed meandering lone LIFE pathway
across the terrain of the ROUGH plateau,
despite distractions I didn’t ever stray.

The sun shines bright in seamless cobalt sky,
colored canvas of contoured vale in sight, 
ripples of whispering breeze pass me by,
while I trace butterfly trail of delight.

IN TWILIGHT gleamed yard A SURGING STREAM flows, 
faith BUILDS A BRIDGE designed by destiny.
When all the portals of time behind close,
WALK THE LAST MILE on path of ecstasy.

CROSS the bridge over THE stream-sliced ABYSS,
God will take me TO the ABODE OF BLISS.

journey of rough life
finds a stream surging with strife…
builds a bridge divine

in twilight hour cross the abyss…walk the last mile to abode of bliss
