The Journey Towards That Place Poem by RIC BASTASA

You see the place
a haven of grace
an island of happiness

you love it and wish
for it
but there is something
that hinders
you somehow

the pain of the passage
the frightening journey
the path of thorns
the bridge of fire

beneath you feet are the
sharpest nails
beside you are the
daggers of doubts

close your eyes
and dream and then continue
going

now you see the place again
a have of so much grace
an indescribable happiness
