Poem Artwork

He walked along the path forlorn
Clothes dirty and from thorns were torn
The ground made up of clay so dry
Cracks made by searing sun in sky

He chanced upon a rock and sat
Sweat pouring from beneath straw hat
Using his sleeve to wipe away
Finding himself so lost this day

Continued he the path walking
A vulture soaring and stalking
Steps slowing to a turtle's pace
Surprising smile upon his face

Ahead his eyes beheld a flow'r
Along a stream this saving hour
At bottom of a gentle slope
Never had he given up hope

The water from the stream drank he
Turning around spotting a tree
Lied down and slept enjoying shade
Later his way along path made

Finding his home as evening fell
Never again to say farewell
To what he thought not up to par
He laughed a laugh heard from afar

Great write some people have it all, some nothing at all, some people lose loved ones more than others, by death, and i'm lucky, I've not lost so many relatives and friends as some other families.

I love this walk along survival's fateful path. Some people have good fortune and drink well from the goodness of life, others are faced with desolation every turn they take. At least this time in this poem, it turned out okay.

Just brilliant. I loved this, Jane, seriously and without exaggeration. You touched a cord in me with this one, perhaps because I have been so long "on the road". And yes, I have laid down for a while and "drank the water from the stream."

John

PS: the rhymes (you know I am a rhymer) work to perfection. Nothing awkward or false. Again, bravissimo, my dear.

Don't we all at times wonder and then when we are through, we thank God for what we have.

Quite a revelation and rejuvenation this chap had, and believe me, I can absolutely relate. Nice work, Jane.

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
