LONE SURVIVOR

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)

After the night,
Day will come
Let the owl hoot
I solace in the thought
That the nightingale will again sing
I'm moving out: far far north
And where I stray, your love shall find me
I know I'm coming back to be in your arms.

Your love shall be my strength;
Be the water when I thirst,
The food when my stomach ache,
The provender throughout my quest:
I know I'm coming back to be in your arms.

For your love I'll go far
And soar all hurdles in my way;
I'll mount all obstacles, whatever they are;
I'll punch all opponents to submission;
And stand tall to see clearer horizons far away
I know I'm coming back to be in your arms.

My destination, I know not where
The make of my quest, I know not yet
But I swear I'm moving out:
Climbing a new mountain;
Trekking a new route;
Clearing a new path;
And if I get devoured:
I leave a new trail
I know I'm coming back to be in your arms.

Hunger and thirst shall be my friends;
I shall stub my toe, and tear my skin;
Look very disheveled when I return
With wounds, weals and bruises on my face
But joy shall conquer all these when you I behold
I know I'm coming back to be in your arms,
My dear child.

Very powerful use of repetition. This is such a tough subject to approach but you do it with care and a full range of emotions.

These lines I think could apply to any of us:

My destination, I know not where
The make of my quest, I know not yet
But I swear I'm moving out:
