Advice, Before It's Too Late Poem by Daniel Brick

Advice, Before It's Too Late

Rating: 4.5


Go as far as you can.
Stop listening to that
foreign voice within.
It cannot help you
as it did then when
the words chosen were
soothing, and again
and again made you turn
away from anger, withdraw
into quietude, a kind of sleep
for your troubled senses.
To be right, to be righteous
is to be alone when you most
need companionship. Look there!
The thread you need is entangled
in the willow tree. Free it: it is
the thread of Homecoming, taut
like an arrow ready to fly
to the target's center. The word
lodged in my head offers soothing.
It has reached me like the ancient
gift of Victory. You have gone
far enough. It's time to rest.

It began on the inspiring note and ended with the confusion in the mind as to whether the journey is worthwhile to continue or to stop to take rest and think about the other course of life. Introspection is must at every stage and after every expedition. A thoughtful poem from your pen.10****
