Best Journeys Poems

Some journeys are worth
the cost – 

some are not... 

and we do pay, one
way or another; even those taken 
by mind alone have an Electrical 
Transit-fee – the price of a meal’s
stored energy –

Scintillating lights softly dancing with the moon 
dreamy music playing from the halls of our memory 
this is your story and this is mine 

Tall willowy blades of grass leaning gently towards hills 
midnight fantasies that calm our weary minds 
this is your place and...

On life's journeys do we stop to reflect
    take stock of where we have been
  Asking pointed questions helps us select
    a path forward to avoid taint of sin

  Where have we been? Where are we going?

Poem about beautiful sunsets and the journey of life.

Spent all day walking on the beautiful powdery white beach. Picking
up oceans treasures, scallop shells calico in colors rich and diverse,
conch, coral, cockel, Sand dollar, sea biscuit, lightning welk, snell shells
of every kind. Ocean breakers emerald crashing...

She's a beautiful bunny with soft white fur and around her neck she wears a necklace of pearls.
She has long white ears...

I have my ticket for the train that's to come.
I packed my bags just before dawn.
I hear the train as it's whistle blows
lots of people here with places to go.
I stood on the deck of the station's gate
smiling because for this trip, I'm not late.
I...

Traveling the roads of destiny
many surprises to be found
each leading to some new beauty

Some journeys taken most blithely
for exotic places we are bound
traveling the roads of destiny

Fabulous sights from balcony
of spires and ancient battlegrounds
each leading to some new beauty

Journeys some take with ceremony
for new places...

Last great Adventure

The road had, for some strange, mysterious reason, beckoned.
There was to be one more great adventure, I had reckoned.

Alone ?, maybe ?,  - this fair haired, green eyed Lady –
would she consider being my companion ?, just maybe

she will contemplate, join me...

I have heard many moms repeat
"You never stop being a parent."

Sadly, I don't see or hear that quite so much from the dads,
although I know of remarkably nurturing exceptions.

I thought of this as my impossibly young,
yet oldest son,
nearly twenty-two,
stopped by for an early birthday present,...

Hi!
I'm Sister EarthChild
journalist with Youth Radio
speaking with Mother Time,
who recently published her hilarious
"Journeys With Father Time:
Wasted Journals of Mother Time."

First, I want you to know
I've been reading your book
as if it were my own story.
So, why the "wasted" journals?

Mother Time:
Our issues of apparent matriarchal waste

Hot humid heatwave
Discomfort percolates long;
Sudden drenching rain

~~~~~~~~~


Sexy curvy strides
Vibrant elegance catwalks;
Hungry eyes focus

~~~~~~~~~


Two stray cats fighting
Furious body language here;
Small tigers draw blood

~~~~~~~~~


Ancient atmosphere
Old tea house in the city;
Strange calligraphy

~~~~~~~~~


Bus-stop commotion
Two drunken men in a brawl;
Tipsy foreign tongues

~~~~~~~~~


Temple bells sounding
Distant chanting rituals heard;
Prayer for our times

~~~~~~~~~

Railway journeys





Lost are travel times,
Dressed in best for the wedding,
Took an express train,
Landed up with soot on clothes,
And coal flakes in silky hair !!
