Became

Alone and lost amongst the trees,
The young one stood and wept.
He yearned for home and his knees,
In fright as daylight slept.

He sat in wait, but night remained,
As roaring clouds rolled in.
The skies became a beast unchained
And fell as rain and wind.

Yet in that dark and stormy time,
The young one faced his fear.
And as he rose in peaceful mind,
The skies began to clear.

With all the doubt and gloom at bay,
The rays of dawn came down.
The sanguine light revealed the way;
A homeward path was found.

A timid boy no longer now,
He strolled beyond the trees,
And sang aloud, enjoying how
He felt the sun and breeze.

His home would welcome him at last,
The greatest goal and need.
But if he ran the route too fast
He'd miss the sights to see.

And knowing now when life goes wrong
Or if he lost his way,
To face his fear by staying strong.
Became a man today.

Welcome, dear Jeff!

This is a very beautiful, sensitive, wise write. Facing our fears is indeed a true "act of evolution" ...

Love,

I know a Jeff King...but I doubt
you are he. Should I learn differently,
then my smile will only get wider.

Welcome to Passions, Jeff!

Please, check your email
for a Very Special Greeting!

Hi, there, XX! Welcome aboard the pip ship! That was one fine debuting poem! You can count on me being on the look-out for more of your poetry.

I enjoyed the rhythm and rhyme ~ and the inspirational message!
