Y.. A Deep Valley Poem by Aufie Zophy

Y.. A Deep Valley

Rating: 5.0


A valley, unfathomably deep
It's dark, it's cold; bitter tears I weep
Is there a way up, is there a way out?
Should I be quiet or just start to shout?

I'm lost in the labyrinth of being worried
Engulfed in self pity I am almost buried
Monstrous dinosaurs of hatred surround me
My ego's nasty revenge has not yet found thee

I want to get out at any cost
The more I fume, the more I am lost
A hopeless jungle of feeling bad
The situation just drives me mad

Until finally,

I come across the path of love
Leading to somewhere high above
A path created by wisdom of Saints
It seems to be free of all restraints

I start to follow this path of unconditional love,
Away from this valley, I want so much to get out of
Worry and hatred are left behind
Bye, deep valley, I have freed my mind



--
Note:
This poem is about one hour or so I spent in nature in solitude
soon after a very disheartening verbal encounter
with one of my teenage sons whom I love soooo much.
Really, love is our God's way......

In a catch-22 or in a dilemma, we looking for a path everywhere as we are in trouble... The path of wisdom, the path of love and the path of His way may lead us to a land, where we'll be free... Wonderful poem, , , so inspirational and spiritual....i like the last two lines..that line will be the line of a victor...

(cont.) to MyPoemList! ! another one. no stinker, this! ! ! i'd say you were in a temporary depression. that has happened to me as well. i did not lose love for someone, but i thought i might lose love from someone! there is now a special area for Poet's Notes, but i'm glad you placed it immediately after the poem text, & labeled as: - Note: bravo! bri ;)

2nd stanza: thee refers to? maybe i'll find out if i finish reading the poem? Yes! the path of (unconditional) love. congratulations! ! may you always remain on the 'right' path, and never, EVER, sink again into the unfathomly deep valley. (cont.)

I am so glad to hear the end. Yes that is the secret of life. Find peace, respect to the other person, love and know that everything works for good, no matter what it is. I had only one child, possibly because I could not handle more. You are a wise father I respect you to the highest.
