Ascending

To the heavens above
I need to go

To the heavens above
I am going

Peace be or not be
the seed of love
I am sowing
To the heavens above
I am going

Skies are but oceans
and a cloud-boat
I am rowing
To the heavens above
I am going

And the sky-ward path
Does call for death
I am knowing
Yet to the heavens 'bove
I am going

Since I'm 62 & I've been in constant pain for ten years, this is how I feel sometimes, like going to the heavens above would be an aspirational thought. I love the way you paint the journey with peace and oceans, which gives a sense of being welcomed along this path. This poem also sounds lyrical like a song, especially with the repetitions (well done). Good to see you back! Hope you can stick with us for a bit! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I thank you for your insights. Lyric isn't exactly my forte, but this poem somehow turned into one.
I am all the more glad to be back with you guys, and I am here to stay, until, of course, to the heavens above I reach!

Just love the calm and serene tone this has to it. And the way the rhyming gives it a music of its own...a perfectly structured piece in my opinion. Well done. It's beautiful.

Ah...Thank you so much for your appreciative insight.

Well I hope the boat stays on course and reaches that harbor in the sky.
the speaker sounds at peace with himself...and that is quite important.
