Travel On

One may not

_____________________________

You cannot see the light my dear
until the dark has made you fear
until the day is so far away
you cannot see the light.

Until the dark has made you fear
until the day is so far away
you cannot see the light
until a voice in dark you hear.

Until the day is so far away
you cannot see the light
until a voice in dark you hear
you cannot see the light quite near

You cannot see the light
until a voice in dark you hear
you cannot see the light quite near
save by the path of the night.

Until a voice in the dark you hear
you cannot see the light quite near
save by the path of the night ~
when wrong is suddenly made right

And now you've reached the dawn.

Thank you, Dixie.

I went back to read this again.  The structure of the poem is very intentional -- I'm wondering if there is a name for that form???

sure am glad Dixie requested this; it is a pleasure to read it.  Neat repetitive rhyme pattern and lots of wisdom.  I think I'm going to be repeating this one on my long drive home!
