A Journey Poem by Heather Burns

A Journey

Rating: 5.0


At birth we start a journey
down this winding road
life is not forever
just a fleeting abode

We are in the act of dressing
preparation of the soul
always traveling onward
mysteries unfold

material treasures vanish
like a stranger in the night
These were only put here
to help make our journey lite

as in the box we travel
Coloring this adventure blue
searching for the answer
our spirits to renew

Each day packing our suitcase
Collecing tresures of this life
when we have accomplished
each one will take his fight.

Beautiful poem Heather with fantastic lines...... Each day packing our suitcase Collecing tresures of this life when we have accomplished each one will take his fight. Very true said, we collect each treasures which we have achieved in life. But taking the last flight we leave everything behind and go. Beautiful presentation. Loved it

Each day packing our suitcase Collecing tresures of this life when we have accomplished each one will take his fight. Indeed, each and every day, we pack our suitcase for a journey which we have no objection to. the inevitability of death strikes every living soul, whether you believe in its existence or not. One day, when we have finished packing our suitcase, we will surely take our flight, some may leave before others. This is true as we advance towards our graves as every second dies in our lives. Emotional and well written!
