The eyes of a new born child stare
At a world so fresh, at the alien skies;
Every touch tickles, every sound stirs,
Every taste bitter, every color blinding.
As the gaze clears, as the fog lifts its veil,
Shackles release, bitter tastes sweeten;
Thorns blunted and broken with time,
And winding paths are dizzy no more.
Dew drops sparkle, clean and pure,
Sunlight bathes the universe in yellow;
Birds, flowers, trees, streams
Rejoice and dance in gleeful harmony.
Storms arrive, rocking sandy shores
And leave the same to make way
For another morning, another day,
Another phial of joys and woes.
Tidings of a land untrodden
Touch those ears unwilling to hear,
Move those feet unwilling to yield-
Yet another journey destined to begin.

ReplyDeleteJourneys,as wretched souls say, will come and go
ReplyDeleteJourneys, they say, have their own ebb their own flow
Cronies, they be, the inevitable journey and evil severance
Why then, does websters still have the word 'hesitance'?
I just got a new puppy .. just over a month old. I see this poem through his eyes.
