Pilgrims...! This planet is not our home, it was not intended that we should feel perfect contentment...here. Thus, the waters of life are not always calm, sometimes the storms are cruel and rage unmercifully! However, whether good or bad, as we voyage on through this world to our 'true ' and eternal home, let us not ever lose sight of the fact that our destination, though often obscured, is...Sure! I bid you...Sail on!


Poem Artwork

No, I won't be content! 
When I start each new day 
I'm careful not to boast 
but repent!

I'm Looking For A City! 

And when I'm blessed 
to laugh and sing 
I make sure it's His Praises 
from inside me ring 

I'm Looking For A City!

No matter how heavy the burden I bear 
no matter how deep my despair 
I shall hold out, my eyes ever 
searching, searching the air 

I'm Looking For A City! 

Day by day I go on 
seeking that promise, like a bride adorned 
Descending from the heavens, a brand new earth 
no more pain, no more death, no more girth! 

I Am Looking…Looking…For A City!

 

HEB 11:8-10, REV 21:1-2

Yes, Joyce, rough may be the storms,
even so we must sail on; some sweet day,
we'll reach the promise land.
May you be blessed!

Whether allegorical, metaphorical, or surreal, this is poetry, and I like it! Well done.

This reminds me of my mother's favorite hymn,"Heaven Is My Home". You gave me a warm feeling inside with this one, Joyce. Lovely!!

Love ya!

This would work well with acoustic guitars, a hardanger fiddle, a psalmodicon, a langeliek (droned zither), an accordion, and a dozen voices structured in 4 part harmony. Enjoyed. rlc
