OF JOURNEYS AND BEGINNIGS









For  http://dversepoets.com/  poetics challenge by Claudia…..chug on….

“I soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes and equal distance into the world within.” – Lillian Smith

As the engine rumbles
Off the station
So does the guts
In anticipation of
Exploits unknown.
The ambrosial blur
Linguistic slur
Of friendship forged
Bonds built
And aborted.
Of new dawn
Novel beginnings
Unknown beyond
And the….
Adventure begins.
