The Next Road Poem by Daniel Brick
The Next Road
Dedicated to all seekers,
who walk the difficult path of knowledge
There are so many roads to take you
to sites that enlarge your Soul.
How will you choose your next road?
Will you look into the sky, and wait
for a hawk or eagle drag your sight
across the western pillars? Is that
the strength you want to emulate?
Or will you press your face to the ground,
and listen to the mole, blind but certain
of his destination, scuffing through moist
earth? Or will you close your eyes
against wavelets ignited by sunlight,
and envision the warm islands you visited
in the Persian Gulf. You are invited to return....
Will you look into the sky, and wait for a hawk or eagle drag your sight across the western pillars? Is that the strength you want to emulate? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Or will you close your eyes against wavelets ignited by sunlight, and envision the warm islands you visited In the Persian Gulf?

daniel, i find this lovely with its three images easy to picture in my mind and well-phrased. the one of the mole stands out, i think because i use the image of a mole (for the first and, so far, only time) in my poem Hope Is. -glen
