At What Price Poem by Keith Foley
At What Price
The price I have to pay is much too much,
giving up the world and all its lust, after lust.
The mind is willing, but the body seems weak.
How can I beat the odds and finally have a winning streak?
The place I want to go, this trip I have to take,
I'm willing to search the world over, even for the smallest break.
But I know all this chasing is like the whirling of the wind,
I can search the world over, but must face myself again.
So the place want to go, this place I need to reach,
I will follow myself inside and listen, for the teacher to teach.
the mind is the teacher and the disciple both...its willingness to teach and to learn...one can go places...good write, keith 10
superb rhymaticy quality to all your poems keith...line after line flows so well...excellent work.. :) tom
Another excellent work Keith. It aptly describes the inward battle against the yearnings of the flesh. To have the wisdom to know if we yield to what comes natural, we will only have to answer to our own sorrow later on. Well done!
Like the way you have put across the idea of the journey within. Reminds me of Johnathan Livingston Seagull
You may have to face yourself again but don't you think it would have been worth the try. Even if you fail, you at least tried. Lovely work.10/10
The lesson is all inside and it seems to me from this erudite piece that you have learned it..... t x
