Life's Journey

Distant geography
Different topography
And yet...
The same highs and lows
One minute laughter
The next one.. disaster
What follows thereafter??
Why..nobody knows

For every peak reached
There's a valley below
For each distance traveled
There's still more to go
Whenever we think that
The end has been reached
Another path opens..
Another wall breached

So it begins....

And so shall it end....

The high ground is often
Too hard to defend

Each valley traversed
Each river crossed
Leads to a place
Where all is not lost...
Life is a journey
With death but an end

Have you learned your lesson??
Keep traveling my friend....

Tammy...I really enjoyed this. I think this may be the first time I have read any of your poems, but I promise you it won't be the last...Paul

it is there, barely seen by light of a torch
suspended in black as night draws last breath
a dimly lit path, that must be the way
like a moon in a cloud, submersed in soft death

what journey is this? that has no guide
where End is a mission of differing length
for every man, must somehow find his way
and reach soul's end, before losing all strength.

Enjoyed thoroughly, Ms. Blessing.
You are one. A blessing that is.
