My Final Journey By Paul Wilson Sing me home father of the wind comfort me with your melody Music is the life blood of my soul touching my heart…setting me free Let the stars light my pathway on this final journey thru life Each step a memory thru happiness and strife Gone are the years of my youth lost in the catacombs of my mind Forgotten are the memories and dreams I now search so hard to find We’ve shared happiness and heartache with each other thru the years We travelled down life’s road together facing our fears…drying each others tears Who could have known our lives would someday become one Two strangers sharing a bond never too be undone Thanks for all the memories you gave me each one very special along life’s highway How I wish we could live forever together with you… I would stay Sing me home father of the wind play my favorite songs just for me Let our memories last us a lifetime one day… together we will be free Copy Righted 8-23-18 [This message has been edited by Michael (02-24-2019 01:37 PM).] |

So much in-depth writing here, can't single out one single thing, because the lines do what they are supposed to do . . . Stand alone, and at the same time give credence to the lines above and below. Enjoyed this one completely. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Very melodic reminiscing, Paul. A life shared is a beautiful thing. Like the view of where your road is taking you as well, the end being just the beginning. "Music is the life blood of my soul touching my heart…setting me free" Ditto the sentiment |

Beautifully penned. Shows depths of introspection with which I can deeply identify. Write on! |

Paul, your poem is exquisite and so very obviously from the heart (the best source). My most favourite part is: Who could have known Our stories would become one Two strangers sharing a bond Never to be undone. My second favourite part is the rest of the poem. |

Paul - Any Love sustained by two hearts unseparated as one is a formidable force to reckon with and historically has been known to collapse kingdoms, topple empires, weaken the strongest of men and women and then amazingly somehow resurrect them from the dead. Maybe it's never over but just starts again with a new beginning. Enjoyed your work. Namyh |
