Y// Rocky Path Poem by Aufie Zophy

Y// Rocky Path

Rating: 3.1


In this adventure,
called our life,
we climb on rocks;
the sea below rages.

The rocks hurt
our feet bleed
Waves splash high
slapping the stones

The rocky path
goes up and down
but keeps us safe
above perilous waves

Sometimes we curse,
we curse the path
but it is the path,
that makes the journey.

That wondrous journey
strengthening our feet
strengthening our heart
elevating our soul.

To paraphrase, ....that which does not defeat only serves to make us stronger. What every life needs is a solid support, a firm foundation. The rock is perfect. I'm amazed at how many people insist on seeking out the easy path, and so they wade into into the quicksand, or fall into the ocean. A great poem.

'That wondrous journey strengthening our feet strengthening our heart elevating our soul.' I loved this stanza especially because books and movies usually show hardship in journeys, but journeys often strengthen body and soul

It most certainly is the path that makes the journey Wise words. We can learn a lot from a Rocky Path.
