The world is in turmoil. So I thought I’d post this peaceful poem to counter the storm inside. Forgot what year it was that I wrote this, though…Hope you like it 🙂
PILGRIMS
Cumulus clouds
over a sea
of coconut trees
waving goodbye…
as I travel through
this seeming maze
of endless roads
and kaleidoscope thoughts;
as friends hold on
to snapshots of today,
of golden memories
and happy laughter.
We wallow in
our moment of existence,
in this sweet, precious moment,
and we bear witness
to the sun
leaving orange southern skies.

The End Justifies the Journey 
Sweet. Nice mix of concrete (coconut trees) and metaphorical imagery (snapshots of today).

Nice idea. The world is full of dark and horrible news lately. What’s the story behind the poem? 😀

Well, I wrote that years ago when worked for a tertiary school. It was March and the administration staff had an outing. We were on the bus going home and I was happy and looking outside and the feelings and the scenery got to me 😉
As to why I posted it, let’s just say I needed to calm down the storm inside me so rather than post angsty stuff (got lots of that), I just wanted to find the peace…

I’m glad you did. The news has been gut-wrenching and when things are overwhelming, it’s nice to alleviate it with a different dose of reality.

We need to keep calm within ourselves first before we can calm the storm outside us.
