The Journey



The man contemplates

sitting high on the hill

hungry for knowledge

how will is wish be fulfilled


In this solitary place

mind cluttered with letters

how to form a story

know the world better


A huge undertaking

is he up for the task

knowledge is scary

will his courage last


Stories form

lessons from the sea

then on to the mountains

cities filled with glee


Now back to the beginning

searching in the heart

spirit is confused

where to start


Hearing an inner voice

begging him to listen

going deep into his soul

as the sparkles on the sea glisten


The task of learning

is eternal

so many ways to see the world

life is a journal


Wiser now

the letters turn to words

excitement for the journey

finally able to be heard

  1. A beautiful poem Debbie. I loved your take on this image. Letters form words and words form thoughts. Thanks for joining in.

    • Thank you. I see the arrangement of letters inside of us as building blocks for ideas, thoughts, experiences, and the essence of who we are. Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful day.
