Glimpse

..my last stare..

heavy swifts of wind
flashes through my face
from oft the window
of the jeep
travelling to the blank faces
 of the earth.

uncared to life
so ordinary
like my dealings
patterned each day,
wishing for someone,
to meet me halfway.

Until that wish
lift up to heaven
thought of words sing
in crimson joy
uttered as music
from angel's lyre.

As speeding wheels
then twist to turn,
a blurry figure
caught my vision
walking down
the endless road.

Our loneliness
both subside
as our sight
swiftly coincide
'tis a language
can't be denied.

Yet this joy
seems like a glimpse
even a tear leaves
no time to shape
as we depart and
take each others fate.

The cruel road
continues to flow
with darkened sky
black as a crow
cast on your figure
that's now a shadow.

Familiar cold air
dried up my soul
I know I'm a traveller
and a fool
who holds this memory
only now as a dream.

The journey is the adventure, we all just keep going and going and sometimes we forget to stop to just enjoy the simple things in life. Beautiful poem. :)

The glmipse of momentary fleeting happiness on the road lifted the spirits, made the continuation of sorrow all the more powerful when it returned. Better to have loved and lost than to have never loved!

[CHRIS ANDES]

yeah that's true

Poetry is not my genre of choice, but when I find someone who is good at it I feel the writing. Each word feels real and i can imagine what they writer had in mind. And I felt it here. I was on every word, wanting to know what you were trying to say. You have done an excellent job with this, keep up the good work. You're going to go far my friend. -The Doctor
