wander across the Universe
spilling out my accursed verse
I'm carrying my heavy load
to the end of life's winding road
lost like a child left motherless
a heavy burden in my breast
dry ground where once the river flowed
to the end of life's winding road
rolling on to the bitter end
wond'ring if any called me friend
will I walk off with debt still owed
to the end of life's winding road?

Odysee is an open-source YouTube alternative where you earn LBC (a form of cryptocurrency) for viewing videos and documents. You can also share and sell your own work. Most of my work on Odysee is free, and I sell my full-length compilations and stories for half the Amazon price. A tip as small as 5 LBC (approximately $0.15) really helps support my efforts.
Lost, carrying a heavy load is just that ~~ heavy! Wishing you and all a lighter load and “getting found.”
ReplyDeleteI feel the Beatles here, Across the Universe, Long and Winding Road, She's leaving Home, Will you love me when I'm 64, Mother Mary? I think your song quotes at the header put me in a music frame of mind. http://www.looseleafnotes.com/2021/03/to-write-a-poem/
ReplyDeleteOh, sad reflections! But I love the accomplished use of the form.
ReplyDeleteThat winding road can sometimes be a tricky place. I trust that the tricks will be few, the friends many, and your burdens lighter as you continue your journey.
