Journey Poems | Examples of Journey Poetry

Secrets cling to the shadows, the light Softly glowing, flowing against a soft night While the melancholy dreams breathe, stirred By the distant thunder, the storm’s heard Revealing the silence, the story so inviting Soundless images of hope I keep writing! ...

At the end of the Civil War in a distant land where most animals parted ways, one specific animal hid and stayed in different habitats to survive. This animal has travelled many lands and seas over time, seeing and meeting almost all creatures that existed everywhere in the world. Two minds are...

Rock bottom is a dark lonely place One people will pray to never see It's overflowing with the lowest lows Reminding you of a life full of misery The select few who are exiled there Forced to travel God's forsaken road alone With potholes of pain and lanes of loneliness This road is where desperation is...

By the light By the touch of your skin I now feel warmth For myself For our future insight Always been on the run Take a ride Take a step outside your world It feels like your free You can live Everyday how you please Take some time for your soul As you awake To the daylight in your heart All you feel is love Pick a life Pick a job...

When I was 16 my face suddenly froze, As I passed out in my friend's arms, I was laying there, face turned rose. I awakened, memoryless, then recall harms. When I was 23 I was very far, But I wasn't alone as I kept on twitching, She saved me while my spirit was afar; Soon I flew back to my body, waking. When...

When I was four, I hadn't thought life a bore, As I was free to play, until one very day, I learned someday we all go out that door, One by one, "It was fun," I know I'll say. When I was 6, I was reminded of this crucifix: As I was trying to sleep, I began to seize, It was...

I used to think there were only two choices— Player or Played. But what I really wanted was someone who would stay when the silence got too loud, when words ran dry. Someone to choose me, not just want me. I looked for them in smiles, in short texts, in brown eyes that said everything but never stayed long enough to prove it. I gave...

I used to ride the train from school to home and back, every other weekend, in an old Pullman car built in the nineteen-thirties. It smelled like my grandma’s house— a little musty, like time had curled up and fallen asleep in the cushions. Too warm, always, but the clickety-clack over tie bars and rail frogs lulled me to sleep, rocking me gently as if the...

Time casts a heavy glow On the world I left behind, Transfixed on a new tomorrow, All the new seeds I’ll sow. Emerging is a new day, How the light blinds my eyes. Focus on the bright cascade Of this everlasting rise. Beneath the earth is trembling, My footsteps unsure and numb. The silence almost deafening— I can almost hear Hope hum. A quick glance back behind...

After a hazardous trip from a far- off district, With drooping spirits and waning energy, I alighted at the station to catch the night train, My heart besieged by memories of a home, left behind. Like a drop in the ocean, I quickly merged with the buzzing crowd. In the blinking light of platform lamps, I saw a huge crowd- the young...

The sleepy begonias undulating slightly so undisturbed leaned forward to encourage and wish me good fortune, while the apricot trees spread around their strong aroma, a dazzling daylight was rising from the majestic mount; a soft voice rose from the next room, it was mamma calling me: I sprung from my bed in disorder without feeling grumpy, the alarm playing Mozart's...
