Yet Pushed, Ever Onward, I Dare Tread

Yet Pushed, Ever Onward, I Dare Tread BEHOLD, I wade into darkening mists, My journey, clarification of Fate When I balked, black ghost said, I insist Hurry destiny cries, it is too late, Strolling deep within, horrific the sounds So strangely pungent the circling winds In distant valleys, baying of the hounds- I fear what that hideous sign portends. Now so afraid, through weeping years I trod Yet pushed, ever onward, I dare tread My shield, simply faith in Light and my God And bushels of truth, to me, life has fed I pray for salvation of divine light Blessed ending of this courageous flight.

Thanks for sharing the deeply introspective thoughts of the challenges in life, the horror, the pain and the hope. The last four lines are true to many of us. Praise God their is a way home. Blessings and peace for the remainder of your days my dear friend. Bill

“Go forth” is actually youadvise written in the bible. Google it. I forget chaps & verses. I use that in many of my poems, as my experience was similar. I said it coming out of my coma, for example. THIS SONNET IS SUPERB. A FAV! “Ask & you shall receive” Bless you! Big hugs!
