He gazed blankly
not sure of his own sight
the track was already in the vicinity
a thousand miles journey had began
'mummy! ' he stammered
will there be food for us?
will we stand the gunshots of yester years?
will our life tormentors hunt us any more?
with ululations they were received
like kings and queens they dined
only for a period of time
the a thousand journey miles came to a halt
Mmmh the suspense brings the message home, death comes as it so wishes. Thank you Poetess
Every journey comes to a halt at some point. Let us also enjoy the journey when it lasts.
Anxiety, uncertainty a mix of confusion and hope brought out well.Good piece Rose
