The Journey
Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem
I’ve purchased you a ticket. It will take
You straight to dreams. The trip is just one way.
“Return” is not upon it. There’s no brake,
The destination, happiness. Don’t pray.
The prayer is answered. If a guard asks you,
You’ll wave the ticket. He will say, “Go on.”
Obey him. We will take the trip to true
Completion. It is far beyond the dawn.
It stretches through God’s morning to a noon
You can’t imagine. Then much better than
The best of evenings will appear a moon
That glows against dark night. Love shows light’s span.
The ticket didn’t cost me anything,
