Somewhere Along The Way Poem by Peter S. Quinn

Somewhere along the way
There are stones to tumble on
A danger lurks within a day
Before the hours are gone
Welcome still is a weary mind
Filled with something to hope for
Remembrances of the past combined
Something from deep inside lore

Unceasingly ever and so unsought
What’s lulling in there and never out?
Every way that shouldn’t or ought
Playfully thoughts that come about
When there were hearts with a nest
Struggling ways that life refined
Throbbing beats inside your chest
Something from two lives combined

Presence and past roads alongside
Dull in their far forgotten places
Heavy recurrence that somewhere hide
Always again my folded life amazes
Peace is now on in every folding lift
Unceasingly while moments were near
So much of experience away will drift
Oblivion waves the mind will steer
