Sojurn

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Apr 19, 2021 

Valley 
of the
dark.
From
one rim
to the
next.
Sojourn.
Navigation 
from one
side 
to the
next.
Fraught
with peril.
Valley
deep,
dark.
Serpents 
full.
Journey
fraught 
with peril.
No choice.
From one
rim 
to the
next.
Mountains
to climb.
Raging 
rivers
to cross.
Wild beasts
in profusion.
Once here
no choice.
Lessons
to learn.
Meaning.
Point.
Conquest!
Shield 
on arm,
sword
in hand.
Journey 
to make.
Success,
to be
determined.
