My Life's Travelling Road Poem by Raymond Anyanwu

My life’s traveling road:
Many weaves and bends
Some days are palliative
some painless
Some, hard sessions learnt.
Carefulness greets my path
Clinging stably my feet
Frequently sojourned down my streets
Saluting citizens I meet.

On my life’s traveling road
Many stumbling blocks
My beats sluggish turned
My head tilted ahead
No turning around.
My time I’ve learned to measure
Not by the panting I leisure
My time I measure
By examples that seize awake

My times bewilderment filled
Mostly surprises wedged
Sometimes a goodbye pleasant,
Others; a welcome poignant
At times filled with mirth,
Others; with weep
The tingling taste of sweet thrills,
Convening with a stroke of fright.

My life’s traveling road
My precious memories,
Of an era, a date and day;
Our heart often touched,
Our breaths absent minded...
