An Interior JourneyA Poem by AndrewNarrative poem in progress
Previous Version This is a previous version of An Interior Journey. **IN PROGRESS READ NOTE FOR REVIEWERS** Focused rays of the breaking dawn Beam down on drops of subtle dew A prism of enchanting lights Guides me home and back to you Vast seas of green surround me As I make my faithful journey home Blind to their advice of saviors For this trek I must make alone Rough old straps of dated baggage Slow me down as I grasp for life Their pain becomes unbearable Cutting shoulder flesh like knives Mountains loom in the distance Breathing fire and spitting ice Knowing not what fate awaits me Fearlessly walking to the night <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> On the horizon of this sun-swept prairie Stands a man in robes of the deepest blue Lines of wisdom speak stories seldom told A twinkle of wit in his eyes faded hue Approaching the man I noticed his old cane Each groove tells a story of mountains peaked Statue-esqe in his noble appearance Softly muttering as he prepares to speak "Don't let the wrinkles and white hair fool you" He whispered with a grin that caught my eye "A life like mine is one of a kind, boy" "And you best believe I'm not afraid to die" © 2010 AndrewAuthor's Note
