Journey Poems | Examples of Journey Poetry

Years ago I did so choose, to go on a Caribbean clipper ship cruise, and, in addition to several other islands, anchored off Nevis, northwest of Saint Kitts, where, in the late 1780's, Nelson had lived, and still bears traces of his presence today, in various parts, pieces and bits. When our windjammer Skipper informed us, 'Shopping here's good, snorkeling is bad,' I...

pretty or slippery are not my names no time for docile dolly games peaceful presence my authenticity aims ascension not something timidly tame Chorus : shiver shake not, I have nothing to hide flowing with life’s lovely tide if you cannot bear scars and shadows go elsewhere to see what flavour marrows sure I hold open portal doors when lightning...

Judgement’s High Way My smug satisfaction drives in narrow lanes Deep with pitfalls of intentional ignorance “Righteous” reads my personal license plate Sentenced to loud lane-splitting intolerance. My bias trips on truth at tangled crossroads, Blinded to orgies in my house of thin glass, Cuts off compassion, in condescending tongues, Detours grace to side roads, a one-way bypass. But, grace stills my hands, determined...

In the silence of the night, when the stars start to fade, I can feel the dreams I had, like a promise that betrayed. Once I held the fire, like a flame that was bright, But now I’m just a shadow, wandering in the light. I close my eyes and listen to the whispers in the breeze, They tell me...

Hands of wisdom Gone on to God’s Kingdom Guidance in understanding Knowing and sustaining Heaven on high The watch from Thy Encouragement that was broad My heart being assured Grandma’s years of living experience Her impact and influence Strength endurance Grandma wise Seeing I to I Times of Discipline Wrong to right Youthful years sometimes resent As an Adult, I understand Her song her own, “Afterwhile” I am enriched to stand and withstand Her...

1 Intent Assigning no meaning to grace imbibed, we watch how we are breath by breath transformed, drenched in bliss mists that cannot be described, trouncing ego, last bastions of mind stormed. With God-search the aim, our journey began, brought about simply, by force of our will, heart’s fervour the means and also the plan, as a non-doer by making thoughts still. There was...

An isolating darkness looms: A numb yet tingled skin; And residues of twilight's gloom, As walls unseen close in. This place feels sharp, yet vague and stale; The clash stirs strife within. My fingers click and spread—a snap! So faint—I fear I'm dead. Insipid airs invade my lungs: The voices haunt my ears; Adrift in dreamlike black, undone, Alone, still lacking fear. Commanded, guided, commandeered My soul is...

On the move Trucker’s style Every highway mile Off ramp routes Through the night and next day Destination to destination arrive Sometimes clear skies Storms in otherwise Trucker’s highway friends Flashing of headlights and horns blowing Around highway bends and mountain highs and lows Views below Town citizen waves Eyes on the road and behave Truck stops Restaurant eats Country songs Accelerating as I move along Trucker’s wheels Turning Turning Turning Truckers Horn music An orchestra...

Frightening silence pervaded Swelling of ground due to mounds here and there A tree adjacent the gate with a GHOSTLY stature Unfurling a dark blanket by its broad canopy Even birds don’t like to perch in the GODFORSAKEN place. Except the bulging- eyed owl A silent witness for GRIEF-STRICKEN hearts The fibre art of GOSSAMER aglow in the sunlight Floating gently like...

I tied a string to my tricycle handle. In the basket, I placed a shining candle. From the other end, I tied a balloon. By hook and crook, I knew that one day soon, I'd be in the court of the Crimson King. But what would he offer - not a thing. He sailed a...

Today, tomorrow, and forever, Whether we stay together or not, You’ll always be the best part of my life I’ve got. I don’t know how long we’ll walk side by side, Or when time may take us on a different ride. Because we never know what tomorrow may bring— A journey together or separate wings. But no matter where life takes me...
