FINAL JOURNEY… a poem

And so,

I meander down the mountainside

Into the valley that would test the resolve of my fear.

No, I have no time for plunder this time around

My journey is a deeper one than that.

While I’ve hidden away upon the mountain,

While I’ve terrorized those, who trespassed upon my land,

I find my ill-sodden soul too heavy to bear the fruits I’ve sown.

Alas, I seek my final resting place among strangers.

God help me!

  3. Wow that was really thought provoking.
    These two lines really hit me

    “While I’ve terrorized those, who trespassed upon my land,

    I find my ill-sodden soul too heavy to bear the fruits I’ve sown.”
