Matthew Anish Poet Free verse

Under Glass

a smooth 
and easy path
   lay before us
or so it seemed
           at 
       first 
    later on 
as we reflected on 
         our 
             progress
it turned out that 
         the road 
       was lined with 
             thorns
       and every new  
              step 
was hard
           in the 
end 
    we'll certainly 
reach our goal
     for every fork 
in 
the
road 
       we'll find 
the 
    right one 
for every thorn - 
bush 
     we'll find 
a clear path
      don't let 
the 
    dark angels 
fool you
      peace is around 
the corner
     the golden road
is within reach 
      eyes that have 
seen sorrow 
      will see the 
light when the 
      morning comes
