The stranger

written 2002 one of my first attempt to not be 1st person narrative

Along the daunting road 
He walks so slow 
The pain and anger diminishing 
That he so well knows 
  
His work, his life all a mess 
His self controls growing less 
Why does everyone hate him so much? 
His lonely heart no one will touch 
When will life give him a break? 
So far all it’s done is take 
  
Into the forest he quickens his pace 
Resting in front of a stream 
Fighting his case 
An angel comes to comfort him 
His eyes are glazed 
Tears on the brim 
  
She takes him back to the road 
Where his life was taken 
To his new life he is awoken 
Waking up to see the lights 
For him there are no more lonely nights 

He’s with his creator 
Safe and secure 
His heart and soul 
Will hurt no more

Great piece even though it is a little sad. This world can be very cruel sometimes,,,glad in the end he finally found peace just a shame he was not able to attain it while living!

this is a great piece of writing

[Woody]

a sad write but beautifully penned. for some people for whom life has not been kind, going to a "better place" to meet their maker is probably the best that can happen to them.
nice one, Millzy.

A powerful poem with a good ending. It seem some people won't know real true peace till death.
"He’s with his creator
Safe and secure
His heart and soul
Will hurt no more "
Above lines are true for many. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
