A Kyrielle Poem for Jane Dougherty’s Weekly Poetry Challenge using the words: Moonlight, tread, wary, secret, swaying and the photo below as inspiration.
Evening moonlight floods the pathway
swaying trees lean in shadow play
along the treaded road to home
each soul must journey here alone.
Once upon each new life dawning
wary travelers seek belonging
often forgetting what they know
each soul must journey here alone.
Days turn into weeks, months, years
decades spent in joy and in tears
some find life spent, nothing to show
each soul must journey here alone.
Still others with true joie de vivre
have no regrets come time to leave
they know the secret in their bones
each soul must journey here alone.
Soon, too soon life’s final chapter
turns the page to the hereafter
promising peace for all who roam
each soul must journey here alone.
