a journey forward step
by step;
eyes wander back at
times---
blurred images in
bright and dull hues,
a journey forward;
you look forward, a
little of the tears
brimming on edges
from yester years,
each step carries
dust and sand
of aisles passed by,
fragrance of
forlorn thoughts,
sighs and laughs
like the wind
brushing against your skin;
you carry many
summers, autumn, winter
and spring, you carry
a soul full---
Drank the drizzles
Sweated in summer
Curdled in winter
I sprouted in spring
Of whatever I carried
And life’s cipher is my soul
Of change and acceptance
A journey forward,
step by step;
learning each day
that I was not
perfect
that I am not perfect
that at the end
a smile will be
enough
for every question---
the truth resides in a heart
that bears the sweetest smile.
This made me sad to think of the sweet smile of truth, although the cycle you present in the poem is hopeful. I know the smile must be genuine and not a mask. It feels so lonely.
