Hound of Heaven Hymns - journey's end

Poetry list

journey's end

I am not well–travelled
yet fascinated by
places and maps
where oh where is
my beloved the
focus and centre
of my life
I have seen her journey’s
end in the flesh
and consigned the precious
remains to dissolution
and earth
yearning to know where
and how she now is
I feel her within
beside
on the air and
in my interior sight
memory is such a different
place and its journey
can take me in the
wrong direction
as I ride the tide
of time how I need to
know my love is
safe amidst the
foaming changing
waters of a life
that has crashed
on a far and
distant shore
