Life's Long Road...

Life’s long road…

In my youth my soul did die,
Denied love from those that mattered.
Tough and callous I would not cry,
My dreams they all were scattered.

When I realized I was alone,
My spirit hardened like a stone.
Into this maze I was thrown,
Against reality splattered.

For a lifetime I did travel,
Down dusty roads full of gravel.
Yet along the way I did meet,
Other travelers on the street.
With tales of love and caring,
Of selflessness hope and sharing.
They taught me all that mattered,

Was in giving along the way,
Warmth and love to brighten the day
As we continued down life's long road
...All fear and doubt was shattered!

Comment by Clicia Pavan on January 2, 2009 at 1:05am: The poet travels on the wings of poetry
eating dirt roads
licking their wounds
and doing so will rhyme
dreaming winged break the dawn
Clicia Pavan

O poeta viaja nas asas da poesia
comendo poeira das estradas
lambendo suas feridas
e assim vai fazendo rima
sonhando alado
rompendo a madrugada
