Poem Commentary

I believe in Jesus Christ, God as Father, and the Holy Spirit - the trinity; three in one. This poem is based on that belief system, and that when this life is done, that those who believe likewise will find themselves in a place of eternal goodness. I realize that this might be in contradiction to some beliefs, in part or in whole. And that is the reason why I wrote the poem, "Who's Reality?" Someone is going to be right, and someone is going to be wrong; my prayer is that I fall in the realm of right, because I would certainly dislike being wrong all these many years.

Only a Few

Only a few journey the path,
  down the river of life,
    finding what life hath;

discovering an inner landscape,
  'tween canyons deep,
    from which they cannot escape;

knowing the day soon will come,
  letting the river inside run, and run,
    now not wanting the joy to be done;

only a few will ever find,
  a place so perfect and fine,
    recesses deep inside the mind;

those different from the rest,
  they who are so blessed,
    only they will find eternity's best.

Such a wonderful, wonderful message ! I could not agree more.

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
