The Journey Poem by HAZEL Calumarde

in the darken room we hold
the imperceptible light of the candle

blackout must have taken away
the light that we borrowed to see

insufficient oxygen
for us to inhale

determination moved us
to travel along with the past

the ten-day journey
the recollection

the walk, the climb
the talk, the laughter

on foot we go
back to our memories

that has lead us to know
what has happened
and what is coming

this life may bring us
someday in the future

the journey with Lucy
thus taken only
in the classroom with me.
