100 Poems For The Soul

Journey

  Follow me, we go
To higher grounds, to climb grassy mountains
Ascending in the cool night air towards the stars.

Come with me, my dear ones
Your skin is warm and your eyes alight but we are silent
Journeying long roads, and closer- with every step of the way.

This path, this way
We move in silence, we are not tired, we are alive! in this moment
We are travelers in celestial night, comets through the sky

We walk, nearer still
Higher we must go, treading stone paths in enigmatic turns
The sleeping plains lie below us, a thing of beauty behind and ahead of us

Certain now, this is the right way
No turning back, only forward, thrill to the beat of your heart
Always upwards, where the clouds drift against the moons

Soon we will rest, onwards
You chosen ones, we have reached the highest peak and see everything
We can see the curve of the earth from here

Don't be afraid, come
Spring after me, into the soft night wind, we will not fall
But fly, the journey almost complete, all reason and worry insubstantial

Gently now, sleep
We have found the way into the sky, us sojourners, it is good
Allow yourselves to drift among the stars, at peace with all things, and know the secrets of the universe.
