The Road of Redemption
By John Herlihy

The road of redemption is full of holes,
Its pathway a trajectory of seeking souls.

Selfishness that transforms into service,
Service that transforms into helping,
Helping that transforms into giving,
Giving that transforms into receiving,
Receiving that transforms into gratitude,
Gratitude that transforms into curiosity,
Curiosity that transforms into questions,
Questions that transform into answers,
Answers that transform into satisfaction,
Satisfaction that transforms into desire,
Desire that transforms into devotion,
Devotion that transforms into deep love,
Deep love that transforms into surrender,
Surrender that transforms into union,
Union that transforms us in the sweet embrace
Of the one true Beloved, the one loving Face.

Greetings to Poet John Herlihy.

I have enjoyed the reading of "Road of Redemption" for its message and the subject dealt; and for its creative word play.

An inspiring and edifying composition of poetic grace.

Long healthy life through a blissed creative living!

In reverent appreciation,

Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

there are so many potholes, curves and turns on the road of redemption, so the question is, why don't to go a straight way to meet face-to-face? . . Yes, very often the crooked path is the straightest. Not to settling out one thing you cannot go further to deal with another; that's what I've been convinced about in this zigzagged piece of poetry. Cheers, alex
