MY POETRY


[ The Poems below were written in Toulouse, France in late Fall of '08. I was wondering if nearly three years of traveling Europe was time to go home. ]

The Path Home

Paths to follow, or roads to lead, where shall I go?
Walking on thorns I begin to bleed, how could I know?
In the beginning or near the end, what shall it be?
Found strength in a forest of the sun, I begin to see
The light which is before me is known from the shadows I left behind
Within the walls of a tainted jungle there is an entangled vine.
When I unraveled the mystery I tasted a pure wine.
Now into the path to follow or road to lead, where shall I go?
Lost in a labyrinth time forgot, how could I know?


The Way Home
   
Paths to follow, or roads to lead, where shall I go?

Walking on thorns I begin to bleed, how could I know?

Tis the beginning or near the end, what shall it be?

When I came to a forest of the sun, I begin to see

The light which is given from the One, I begin to plea.

Mercy was given in the valley of the sun, I began to be

The light which is before me, known from the shadows I left behind.

 

When I came into the walls of a tainted jungle there is a tangled vine.

When I unraveled the mystery of the time, I tasted a pure wine

And she has put me in a daze.

Why, oh why must I still gaze

Into the eyes of time's forgetful maze,

Of these paths to follow or roads to lead, where shall I go?

……..???

Walk on clouds of sorrow… I no longer bleed…I found the way home!
