Themes of life's journey

Poem

By Genevieve ucPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Life's journey winds and weaves unsure,

Twists and turns that test my will, fate decrees.

For every path I take, I'm led back to its track,

Day by day, the river flows, bending, swaying, still.

I may fall, fail, but I'll rise, stand tall,

My life paved with twigs and thorns, twisted between branches small.

I cling to hope, a guiding light,

A beautiful life, I wish to see, moments of joy, tears unseen.

In twists and turns, I'll find my way,

A guiding light that leads to highest peaks, with love and hope, spirits speak.

A gentle whisper echoes meek,

With every step, I face the test, of twigs that snap, thorns that nest.

In hearts and souls, they leave their mark,

Snaping us like works of art, in the dark, yet I'll find strength in the twig's pale light.

So let the twigs and thorns be my guide,

In their balance, may I find my stride, for life's sake, I'll take my chance.

Paths that wound, roads unending,

May I find my truest friend, and let the twists and turns be my guide,

For in its journey, I'll find my pride,

To connect with life that never ends.

Promises of life, made but unfulfilled,

Left me with shadows that haunt my being, echoes of dreams I held so dear.

Vows of forever, made in youthful prime,

Now falling silent, leaving echoes to tell.
