Hazel Durnham- - I thought you would be able to follow the journey as described here- you have that understanding born in you- through your country and countrymen. ; } I am so improved by your presence on PH
A very interesting write of finding self acceptance otherwise it is a lonely journey. To feel love for our own individual personality and to nourish our dark souls to a lighter shade that enlightens our world!
2 - it read well even if it was not 'all that clear' to me. well, " from birth to death" DOES pretty much sum up " the longest journey" of your life, unless there is more to a life than i have gathered. " you" are really such a loser, ARE YOU? ? ! bri :) yes, copying & pasting (as you mention in a response, below) is a to do. ha ha.
you are such a card! I'm guessing the knave of the deck, or is it the joker! ! ! ha ha... why, yes, there is more to life than you have gathered [rosebuds for one! ! ! ! ] :))
1 - Jez mentions " rhymes in a row" . your response calls it " inner rhymes" . i wonder if you refer to " on my one and only lonely journey" . ? " He" is God? ? at first i did not notice that the very last line did not match previous last lines.
yes- God. I am sneaky with many of my last lines. yes " only lonely" is an inner rhyme
I went through this poem once again due to to its special attraction and theme. A brilliant poem really.
thank you even more for the wonderful things you say to another writer.
hey, susan! this one feels blues-y to me. i can imagine it recited to blues chords on a guitar or piano. this also reminds me of psalm 84 which i've been working on memorizing. i'll send it to you via a ph message. hoping you're well, glen
I appreciate your comment and for reading my poetry! Looking forward to your message

Susan, this is magnificent. This is solitary yet universal story told by each one of us. Just perhaps the invasive, growing weariness is actually the dawning of acceptance. This one goes right to myfavourites.

am all alone no one to talk to no one to help me no one to share it with and no one to enjoy it with me ...............on my one and only lonely journey......an emotional composition nicely presented. Brilliant poem.10 . .
Thank you, Kumarmani! ! ! ! I am pleased to hear how well this poem talked to you! And thank you for the 10.
The light wants me to go there it wants me to go there by myself where no one else is where I can learn to drink of the light where I can learn at last I am not alone - - - - - - - At the time of utter despair, when one feels there is no body around him , there is no friend or companion, God is there who shows the light at the end of dark tunnel. The poem takes us in a spiritual journey.Thanks for sharing.
Hi Bharati, Thank you for thinking about this poem and understanding the spiritual journey that it is making from darkness into the light that God provides for us.
Well expressed thoughts and feelings. Soulful and so insightfully brought forth. Thanks for sharing Susan.
Thank you very much for continuing to read my poetry and commenting on them. I was so glad to see you posted the other day as well. You have a very powerful voice for good
There is one who will never desert us and as long as He is with us, we needn't fear. This is exactly how I too think! This poem which has a strong base of spirituality will continue to inspire many who feel lonely and deserted! A touching write! Top marks, Susan!
I really appreciate how you studied the journey of this poem- again you are a very diligent reader. It must be the poet in you! ! ! You get top marks as a good friend to all poets here on PH because you encourage us on our journey to better ourselves as poets
At some point of life, most of us feel that we are alone and we travel a lonesome tedious journey! Friends and close ones may be with us now and then! But one has to bear one's own burden and travel through life mostly alone. Though we might get companionship, there is no guarantee that they will stay with us till the end. (continued)
Thank you, Valsa, for really delving deep into this poem. You always take time with the poets on Ph for which we thank you! ! ! !
Beautiful soul! .. On that journey, that road, but, with God, you're not ever alone! .. Beautiful light! .. Ever so very inspiring! .. Thank you ever so much for sharing! .. Ever so very many 10S! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! .......................+++++ another saved :)
Thank you, Rebecca! I see your bright shiny exclamation points and my spirits rise! ! ! . I was afraid it might sound whiny which was the last thing I wanted to do. I found my heart's ease in God as do many. and it feels great that you are one of those who walk in the light! ! ! Thank you for those happy 10's leaping up and down! ! !
Indeed, we can feel at peace a lot better if we are silent and listening!
I am sure you are having a very creditable journey! Loved this highly expressive poem that candidly expresses your personal experiences of life in relatively a selfish world! A splendid work!
Thank you, for so learnedly reading my work and commenting on it. I was afraid it might sound whiny which was the last thing I wanted to do. I think a lot of people feel out of step, unliked or boring in social situations, etc. People really need to feel loved or at the very least liked. I found my heart's ease in God as do many.
It is a very lonely journey, the loneliness is not telling others what we know inside..not to worry them, at least in my case, but there is indeed light and I must say.. peace permeates in the end, it is scary and a relief at the same time, I can relate to your poem, this goes to my favorites Susan, thank you for posting such a deep poem, my God bless you my friend
Bill, I think you relate to many people's writing because you are a beautiful word smith and a lover of literature as well as an encourager of writers in the pursuit of writing better and better. Thank you for reading my work and commenting on it and I feel very pleased that you found it worthy of being on your fav list.

I think all of us have felt the feelings that this poem evokes, but you have expressed them in a way that few are able. This is going on my favorites list. Great work and five stars!
