    On Life's Journey

    ON LIFE’S JOURNEY

     

    When I finally feel whole, incompleteness steps in

    Decided my life’s journey

    Didn’t prepare for the road bumps

    Blocks

    Detours

     

    I’m not lost

    Only confused

    A little afraid

    Pondering if I need to ask for directions

    North, South, East or West

     

    Where do I go……….

     

    Do I follow my mind

    Signals to the eyes

    Ears

    Nose

    Nerves

     

    Do I follow my heart

    Beating

    Blood pumping

    Rhythm

    Pressure, high or low

     

    Where do I go……….

     

    Is it suppose to be this hard

    Maybe I’m not trying enough

    Or trying too much

    Am I dreaming too big

    Possess the will and not the drive

     

    On life’s journey

    But…have I found me

    So many things to bury

    Treasures to find

    Where do I go……….

     

    On life’s journey!!

    very thought provoking, metaphorical, a simple flow of words but so meaningful, thank you, a 10 from me.

    I think all art asks a question. It demands(if its good) some response from the reader, writer. 'Where do I go' is one of lifes most profound questions, and a place that we ALL find ourselves, at one time, or another. I dug your poem, Anitra. I'll read more. Peace.....Patrick

    Your poem is a little confusing. But I get what you are saying. When you say "where do I go" it has suspense thrown in to make it interesting.

    yes, its confusing because I am, it says: "I'm not lost, only confused"...thanks for the comment

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
