3WW draft locate serenityhe searched for serenity
he wanted freedom
he tried to locate it
in the wonders of nature
he placed human connection
into the draft folder
he rowed down rapids
read lots of books
he talked to apples and horses
and in the end and too late
he realised it was there all along
there... in your loving embrace
I found the movie "Into The Wild" inspirational. The above poem is based on it. It comes highly recommended by moi!
ReplyDeleteGood recommendation..maybe that's where 'it' is always found..in a loving embrace..sometimes you have to go around the world to see it though..but talking to apples and horses is always a good thing..love that line..Jae
ReplyDeleteWell, at least someone's found it!
ReplyDeleteAh, ever the dream of healing love...

great write...on a great book...and love the album by vedder too...i wonder how many of us fail to realise it is there...
ReplyDeletelovely and so true serenity can be found in a loving embrace.
ReplyDeleteNice write...nice tribute.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your poem very much and the moral of the story :-) To many wait to long.
ReplyDeleteLike Jae I loved the line about apples and horses. The search however is important because when you find that love is the answer the quest has been worthwhile.
