THE LOST ROAD

I came back from a journey

travelled the mountains and valleys

crossed the oceans and rivers

and grateful when the sun is set

i can lay my back down to the ground

 

Now another course is set to walk

to the valleys where darkness reigns

to the path were no one dares to cross

to the oceans where no ship dares to sail

Now, where am I to go?

Brilliant poem! Stunning as ever! Keep writing!

[Wendy Seames Garner]

I love your poem, Lei! It makes me think of old age, with death looming on the horizon.

[Suditi]

Simply superb.
I love the flow, the theme, your style of writing.
A deep poignant write.

Kind of like a choice between good and evil. Which path to take though? That answer lies within the beholder of the originally asked question to make for themselves as we are all capable of deciding one's fate or eternal glory if you'd like. Great poem.

[Gregory]

Descriptive and finishes with promise.

[Perfect Mistake]

Short but descriptive. Good work

[Ellen Brook]

I liked the way you described both the paths. They seem so full of life that they actually dance before my eyes. A few poets have this gift. You are one of 'em. Good work!

[Leah]

Just when you think you've seen it all, heard it all, read it all... WHAM! Ya get hit to the ground with the Unfathomable. I agree very much with Leslie. Just two stanzas with all the right words.

This feeling of being lost in ways and travelling long time is so near and familiar to me! I love your way of expressing...Sometimes you have to be lost in order to find "yourself" again!

[Leslie Philibert]

This is a very fine poem, that proves my belief that simple words need not transport a simple message, but evoke complex reactions.Great.
