Seven thousand, or seven miles…
Paved with tears and paved with smiles…
Soaring heights, arcane depths…
The road of life, beneath my steps…
This wondrous road, we travel fast…
Too little time, the scenery vast….
From, and to on others, we give and take…
This conventional pattern, we hardly break…
Along this road, we slave and save…
To leave it all for a darkened grave!…
All in all, and in the end…
Know this secret my cherished friend…
What counts in your life, is not the YEARS…
It is rather, the LIFE in your years!!!…

Kami joonam,
ReplyDeleteI have been reading your poem over and over for the past half hour...there is so much wisdom contained within the lines of this poem!
I wish that we could all live every moment in the moment....
I wish that we could stop once in while, and smell each rose and count each star in the sky..
We all have our goals and we all have dreams to fulfill...all we care about is to reach our final destination and to find what we're looking...
We are in such a hurry to get there that we forget to have fun and enjoy the beauty of our journey...
Thank you for reminding us that it is not the destination, but the journey, that counts.
This poem reminds me of the book called "The little Prince", you should read it if you haven't already!
Boos Boos
Thank you Kami---the truth. Let us all find peace in the simple things of this wondrous world.

Hey Kami,
ReplyDeleteThank you. Definitely thought provoking. After I read the new blog I actually went back over some of the previous ones. Your creativity is something that cannot be described but, is truly amazing. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.
The poems and paintings in your blog are breathtaking, to say the least!
