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.

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

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

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.

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.
