The narrow gate

The narrow gate

A Poem by ayosonolowo
"

Too much to say

"
I was graced to go
there and come back








the land of honey
and joy






the land of passion
without the superficiality of need







but the wide gate
was my way







i walked back
to browse through the city







i saw joy full soul
and everlasting peace






i saw the heroes
and the rich crying for help






i felt the blazing
of fire








i saw helpless people
crying for help






i saw merciless
creature at ease





and narrow was the
gate that leads to pease






and wide was the gate
that lead to destruction






i felt for my self
and i felt for eternity







how i wish i could see my self
in the house with the narrow gate

I liked it. I thought it quite poetic prose. Worded very well and the story you're telling comes across very well.
"pease" (this word is the same as peas in meaning). Perhaps peace?

Very good write. :)
