Best Song Journey Poems


Along the Road (Angel of Sadness)

Across Texas , up through southern Cal
When you don’t think you could journey another mile 
Up and down these man made tiles
You know the end’s not far now 
Darkness now your guiding light, beneath these stars
You’ve come a long ways now
Too far to settle for an average bar, you can’t rest now
In between these rest stops 
Along with your adrenaline, the temperature drops 
Now your exhaustion dims the city lights 
You look beaten and worn 
May the next random stranger pity your life
As loneliness settles into your night
The radio seems to whisper tunes of Motley Crew
Rest may never place its grace upon you
Yes you find this truth, but you can’t rest now
As you whimper into a hotel lobby
So tired, so weak, so determined to seek
As you stumble upon a vacant desk
You’ve lost all hope 
But you don’t want to show that you’re an awakened mess
If you’ve rang that bell once, you’ve rang it twice
As you turn to presume your departure
Through these swaying doors 
On a pallet, amongst the skies, there she hides
Fallen from the steps, into her arm, this old man lies
Across Texas , up through southern Cal
When you don’t think you can journey another mile

Wilderness Dream

tall yellow trees
going on forever it seems

i walk a path
under slate blue skies
clouds so rich and thick
a bird here
a bird there
yet their song is everywhere
granite mountains up ahead
white caps adorn their head

I shall climb
until I cannot climb

enjoying every blessed step
