"The Journey" The reservation has been made The journey is one we must take No set time... No set date... Just part of life we cannot forsake The tickets were purchased long ago By that which we know as fate No set time... No set date... Just a trip for which we must wait The station is in our dreams The journey within our hearts No set time... No set date... Just destiny in which we take part Hold true to the belief in love Doubt not the power it can give No set time... Not set date... Just an appointment for which to live. Mark Bohannan ( For a friend I have yet to meet.) |

may your roads rise up to meet you ... may they be paved in gold, may you live all your dreams ... may you know love ... and all its secrets untold.  ***** excellent Mark.. I liked the repetition in this... made it read like a cool song... liked the hope and promise in it as well... take care, jm What the caterpillar calls the end ... The world calls a butterfly ~LaoTzeTao~ ~Butterflies are meant to be free~ |

As I was reading I began to think it was about a couple who were "engaged to be engaged"..you surprised me. Good luck and hope you time is soon. Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

Mark: I loved the way you put this. I can relate to it but in my case, I felt that way months ago. I went ahead to meet that friend and since then I've written many poems because of it. I hope you will meet your friend soon. I know in my case, I'm so glad I did. Beautiful writing Mark! I loved it! kat |

I like very much the idea you promote with this poem, Mark...the idea of a journey of fate. Lovely. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
