Array ( [sid] => 174277 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Where Will My Haven Be [time] => 2012-11-11 05:34:48 [hometext] => [bodytext] => The world shall go on turning
Through the darkness of despair
As I, with seamless yearning strive
To find a haven there

Set deep within the valleys
Or above the raging sea
In regions high and rarefied
Where will my haven be

Shall I search in flowered fields
Or the hillside strewn with gorse
Upon the rugged moors and heaths
In woodlands wild and coarse

Or is it set in pastures
Where the sheep and cattle graze
In peace and calm serenity
To while away their days

Will I find it on the shore
There amongst the whorl’ed shells
Between each wave that ebbs and flows
Or where Poseidon dwells

Searching in the wilderness
Through all days to seek and find
A place to rest and contemplate -
A cradle for my mind

For then shall I relinquish
All that binds and fetters me
Where I can dream in solitude
My spirit to set free

Where Will My Haven Be

Topic: InspirationalPoems

The world shall go on turning
Through the darkness of despair
As I, with seamless yearning strive
To find a haven there

Set deep within the valleys
Or above the raging sea
In regions high and rarefied
Where will my haven be

Shall I search in flowered fields
Or the hillside strewn with gorse
Upon the rugged moors and heaths
In woodlands wild and coarse

Or is it set in pastures
Where the sheep and cattle graze
In peace and calm serenity
To while away their days

Will I find it on the shore
There amongst the whorl’ed shells
Between each wave that ebbs and flows
Or where Poseidon dwells

Searching in the wilderness
Through all days to seek and find
A place to rest and contemplate -
A cradle for my mind

For then shall I relinquish
All that binds and fetters me
Where I can dream in solitude
My spirit to set free

Hi Val,
What strikes me immediately is ... why has
no-one commented on this gem of a poem
yet? A beautiful journey on a road that all
of us take at various stages in our lives - i.e.
that endless search for peace and perfection.
Alas ....

Tommy

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
