The Homeward Journey - A Book of Poems

by SaxPon3

The Homeward Journey

I walk a strange path
full of trial and triumph.
Though the road is long,
and the trek be tiresome,
I will persevere

Here on the Homeward Journey.

Tides of memories wash by
reminding me of the past.
Her beautiful lilac eyes,
her soft caressing laugh.
A sweet soft sound reaches my ears,

Here on the Homeward Journey.

Their laughs, they beckon me;
Her dare-devil's grin, her timid smile,
Her accented greetings, her graceful beauty,
Her energetic laughter, her friendly aura,
They heal my broken heart

Here on the Homeward Journey.

Tired is my soul,
weary from my travels.
I seek refuge in them,
their loyalty, laughter and kindness,
their honesty, generosity, and magic,

Here on the Homeward Journey.

I see them clearly now,
ahead in the distance.
They run and embrace me with love;
I cry into their shoulders.
They whisper that I am safe, that I have finished

That I have finished the Homeward Journey.

You've done a mighty job, mate. My favorite was probably The Ring or The Homeward Journey.

Now, I'd like to just say that looking back on it, you are right. I'll be sure to work on these now. Thanks for the constructive criticism!

I like this quite a bit, especially the last two pieces. With some of the earlier pieces, I wondered how they fit into the MLP theme, but the final two poems tie it together in an almost narrative way. A very sad narrative way, admittedly, but they still tie it together.

3787556 Thank you! To be honest, I don't know if the earlier ones are MLP related either, but I just put them there because I'm proud of them and wanted to share them.

I could see some of the first couple of poems fitting in with griffons or dragons, but they would just as well fit into many other fantasy settings. The last two poems, however, made the whole collection sound like the emotional journey of a narrator longing for a better world. If they actually made it there, are just dreaming, personifying their ideals, or any number of other possibilities is open to the reader, though, and I do like that.
