Pebbles Of Charted Seas Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Pebbles Of Charted Seas



Pebbles
Of
Charted
Seas:
There
Must
Be
Energy
Dispended
Energy
Stored
The
Walls
Of
Pain
Have
Risen
High
And
Higher
Before
Me
Barrier
Of
The
Day
And
Of
The
Night
Weary
And
Grinding
Another
Form
Of
Suffering
In
These
Days
Another
Form
Where
Valley
Full
Of
Luscious
Trees
Yet
Pain
By their
Hostile
Floors
In
Passing
Through
Other
Gethsemane.

Well, THE VALLEY FULL OF LUCIOUS TREES is certainly an image of pleasures to be had for free - if they can be reached. The skinny line suggests to me the speaker is on a long journey and whatr he sees around offers no refuge - his journey stretches on with no discernible end. There is no whining in this poem, no WOE IS ME defeatism, but there is also little joy on this journey and ending with a reference to Gethsemane indicates there is both more suffering and more blessings ahead. This is curiously like a Samuel Beckett scene but with religious faith instead of nihilism.
