A Far Off Place – poem, by James D. Maxon
A quiet place
A lonely place, where
Scattered dreams start to pace.
Not by air, nor by car
A winding road
It seems so far…
A far off place
I turned left or was it right?
A twisting path into the night.
I stumbled here and I stumbled there
I cannot find it anywhere…
A far off place
A dim light shown
The road not willing.
An easy way out
Seemed fulfilling…
A far off place
Greed and envy
Lust and hate.
The path long gone
Is it too late?…
A far off place
A stream of blood
A trail to follow.
One who’s righteous
Fills with sorrow…
A far off place
My knees give way
I answer the door.
Son of man enters
I fear no more…
A place called home

comforting to be reminded where home really is...
It was the first poem I wrote on my own. I believe it was during my last year of High school. I'm currently working on a project to collect them into a single volume, so I appreciate the positive comments :-)
I hope you post others on goodreads. I am interested to read more.
