I travel along
This beaten path..
And watch around
As time doth pass..
Lost souls
Pouring into the street..
Pretty soon
Their end they'll meet..
I realize that
I am on my way..
Not to heaven
But the other way..
I cannot change
What i've done..
But I can change
Who i've become..
I am well aware this is not perfect.. But its what comes to mind <3

A man on a journey;
He is without company,
His direction selected,
His destination predicted,
Focused, focus, he's focused on his journey,
Obstacles on his path,
A mountain block his path,
Cold winds for him to battle,
Focused, focus, he's focused on his journey.
He jumped all the obstacles,
Barged right through the mountain,
Popped his collar,
He dared the cold wind to blow colder,
He's focused, focus, I'm focused on my journey!

Congratulations Lee for winning this competition. Your poem won as it pondered on the journey of your subject in this world. Kristanydanel, your poem won as it is short and sweet, and grabbed me immediately, while Miki's first poem 'spend time well' is simple,the message is crystal clear. Thank you everybody for being with me and taking time to join in the competition. I hope to see all of you and more in coming competitions. Thank You!!
