What lies ahead
Beyond these thorns
Of shadowed nights
And wintry storms?

We freeze our dreams
For warmer days
And stumble blind
Through misty haze
Unique to you
Oblique to me
Such twisted words
of fallacy…..

In times of fear
I’ve sold my soul
Content to live
On cruise control

But now…

What lies ahead?
God only knows
Of future days
And long ago
My debts are paid
And prayers are said
With faith to see
What lies ahead

Poetry is:
Passion, imagination and intellect running together.

Aloha with warmest regards, Cheryl Stewart Koomoa

Cher,
Good thing we only see ahead one day at a time. I like your writing style. Nice touch.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

I like this Cher....reminds me a little bit
of a statement by Shakespeare......

something about.....if only he had the
ability to look into the book of fate....

what a vision that would be....

like the flow and twists of this one; it reflects the enigma of life, cruise control can be so easy to fall into and hard to get out of, yet the times we're in now have shaken us so solidly, we have little choice, that sounds like an oxymoron, doesn't it?

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Thank you all for reading this. Yes, I think it is an oxymoron, I know it is a circle and I know It is out of our control,
It is best to survive it of an excellent spirit and flow with it.
Shakespear? Wow, I don't think we can compare. hehe
Aloha and hugs to you all, Cher
