Kim Rodrigues Poet Dizain

Voyage

The end of all our exploring
will be to arrive where we started.
—T.S. Eliot

Over stressed waves of ebb and flow of salt.
How swell, my voyage is, in float through cave.
Is sought, the treasures of life - opens vault.
I find surge exciting. I’m shipshape brave.
The map pinpoints the stars - ebon, a fave.
I turn on helmet’s lamp - the moon listing
as passage caved…my travel persisting.
The roar of thunder salve, erupting seas.
Of course, we steer from falls. This’s existing!
World’s end! Fine mood morphs to brooding degrees.

Duke Beaufort April 2, 2024 at 3:27 PM Ahh Kim, the voyage of life. The end is always a little sad, but we hope it can be tinged with happiness gathered during the travels. Hope you had a lovely easter. Kim Rodrigues April 3, 2024 at 5:22 AM I had a very nice Easter! Hope you did too! Life is such an adventure when sought. Every day is not a high but we must be thankful for the overall, if possible. ~ Kim

Andrea Dietrich March 31, 2024 at 2:06 PM Very cool and unique way to address the word voyage, Kim! Kim Rodrigues March 31, 2024 at 2:48 PM Thank you, Andrea! :)

Sara Kendrick March 31, 2024 at 7:27 AM I believe that Rumi said something similar as T.S. Eliot in that he said I came from somewhere else and intend on going back there. I like your creative work. It must be for a contest, if so, it reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Thanks for your visit to say congratulations. I hope this is the best Easter ever. Sara K Kim Rodrigues March 31, 2024 at 12:39 PM Thank you, Sara! Happiest Easter to you! Rumi is great. Shared one of his with my 18 year old granddaughter and a couple others to give her ideas for writing about love since she doesn’t have the experience yet. She writes love songs to sing and is exploring poetry.

Joseph P. DiMino March 31, 2024 at 5:24 AM Excellent read. For sure, we cannot navigate to treasures anew, while still dragging the old anchors. Sin is a hefty weight. God is forever patient. Love is forever patient. Happy Easter my friend. Kim Rodrigues March 31, 2024 at 12:40 PM Thank you, Joe! Happy Easter! Hugs

Gershon Wolf March 30, 2024 at 9:25 PM Jules Verne has a new partner for his 'incredible voyages' -- you, Kim R! Wow! Would you like Jules' 800# ? Kim Rodrigues March 31, 2024 at 12:41 PM What does that last question mean? Thank you, dear one!
