noisome nuisances
sojourners on times road
life’s speed bumps

We are all sojourners on this earth,
Though our lives be short or long.
We whom are of less than noble birth
May not find life a song.
Living is for the strong.
won a 5th
Sojourners all
We must fall
Here today, now
No morrow, how?
We fade away
Slowly, if I may
Out of limelight
Not out of sight
It all falls apart
Ere your body, they cart
To the grave
Home of the brave
There is no forever place in this life-
It ends in Death.
But Death is just a transition to
To another country.
Like Abraham, we are just
Sojourners in this life.
We are waiting for that blessed relief-
Another place that is eternal.
Heaven awaits us!
I can dream, can't I?
Everything old is new again,
all that was is now on rewind and repeat.
Look at history -
we are immigrants,
sojourners from our homeland,
it's a struggle and a strain
fighting for freedom's voice once again.
A land where everyone is equally the same
looking for a place to be free.
wasn't that America?.
I can't remember feeling so incomplete...
Time and distance are a void...
Where there was you.
Loneliness, a mind possessed of itself
Groping in twilight revelation
We're sojourners on a trek
Spirits compelled to give and share
Trading smiles we'll never know again
Owing nothing.

The clouds pass silently above
On their way to infinity;
Sojourners drifting in the sky;
Compliantly acquiescent
to whims of dominating winds.
Our paths to perpetuity
are like those hovering above:
Short time stays in this dimension
crammed with egregious egotism;
Marvel at insignificance
as though it were significant.
Our egos pass, notwithstanding,
into amnesic nothingness.
Wind can be a bit pushy
at times
Though I would be first
to admit
of needing nudges in different
directions
inclined to linger too long
under shady canopy
or at the seashore
gazing off into dreamy
horizon
my mind inclined toward
repainting sunsets
rearranging stars into
unique constellations
or writing poetry
strictly for sojourners
each poem a gateway
to ports further unknown
My heart beats
harder at the thought
of farewell
We are here
just to meet and part in life~
merely sojourners!
When I lie
dead in my coffin
pale and white
motionless,
you all will send me away
with a farewell kiss.
All I wish,
as you bid adieu
is to keep
me fondly
in your kind thoughts now and then
after laid to rest!

rushing rapturous rhapsody
I heard since morning light
bathe the dried earth afresh
tumbling on burgeon swells
bulging to bubble breathe
an intoxicating balm, spice
waking sombre sojourners'
sighs ~ ah!
amidst a floating fragrances
tweedles of birdies romping
and so are giggles of chaps
dancing, playing, prancing
the skirt of trees bow languid
tired from onslaught winds
arms weak they fracture a few
yet standing still, up
High! ~
days of fasting overlap
prayers offered to fill a gap
in lives surrounded by a wrap
of tradition and modern seditions
today, Lent and Ramadan bring
times of reflection and for some, to sing
folks set aside the mundane, for a better thing
to live special days, mingled with cherished conditions
like ships passing in the night
sojourners waiting for the morning light
take time to reflect on another’s might
seeking the Divine with community renditions
