Where Are We Headed

Where are we headed in life,
                                             
I do not know peace or strife.
                                             
Life is but a journey that needs balance and love,
               
anxiety will make love flee like a flying dove.
           
On this pathway,
                                                           
we find we need to pray.
                                                 
Evil wants to snatch us,
                                                 
like lust-not a plus.
                                                       
Where are we headed in life
,                                           
a day of peace or exotic wild life.
                                     
I hear your many desires,
                                               
as we sit under the stars by this fire.
                               
You say you want joy,
                                                   
it is work and not a toy.
                                                 
Where are we headed in life I do not know,
                     
this past year has been really-really low.

Life has never been perfect. Some years awful, some great! Love your poem, well done. I love your honesty. We are not all in a low nor high space. If you are a believer, you know God is in charge.. As Crelo Dollar, the minister said... If you have a roof over your head and food. You are better off than most on this Planet. Anything over that is gravy. TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST~ TOUGH PEOPLE DO Bless you Panagiot

Indeed, t's been a "really low" year. The light at the end of the tunnel is dimming again as we enter a new surge of Covid. Let's pray we can get through this. Everything in life has changed and I long for pre-pandemic life! Best wishes in the contest, Paula. Hugs, Carolyn
