Sojourn

John Prophet

 

Valley 

of the

dark.

From

one rim

to the

next.

Sojourn.

Navigation 

from one

side 

to the

next.

Fraught

with peril.

Valley

deep,

dark.

Serpents 

full.

Journey

fraught 

with peril.

No choice.

From one

rim 

to the

next.

Mountains

to climb.

Raging 

rivers

to cross.

Wild beasts

in profusion.

Once here

no choice.

Lessons

to learn.

Meaning.

Point.

Conquest!

Shield 

on arm,

sword

in hand.

Journey 

to make.

Success,

to be

determined.

      Not always I’m afraid. Thank you for reading.

      a thought provoking write, yet again dear poet
      (and thanks for inspiring my little scribbled reply)..
      'there is a reason why zebra's have evolutionarily masked themselves in unnatural stripes and choose to blend-in, than stand - out..
      there is a reason why democracy was hated by ancient empires who strived for that 'ever greater'..
      there is a reason
      we like to forget - existence
      is but a sojourned state
      and that our countdown, started
      before we drew, our very first breath...'

        So true.... Thank you for reading!
