For today’s prompt, write a voyage poem. In my case, we’ll be driving along the Gulf of Mexico, but a voyage can happen in a variety of ways–even on foot, or psychologically. Heck, the process of writing a poem is a sort of voyage all its own. Happy poeming!

The Healing Voyage 
By John Yeo

A very sad loss, 
With a thick mist over my consciousness,
I had suffered a traumatic life event,
Shattering a union of many years
A loss that was to my detriment
Lingering.

A loss that would not go away
A black cloud covered the firmament 
Clarity with understanding, missing.
The familiar surroundings added sadness.
Some good advice like a ray of light
Illuminating.

Get away from here to lift the fog 
Take a trip to anywhere, pastures new, 
See the world, whatever you do,
Switch off your moping and try.
Somewhere there is a wide clear sky,
Ruminating.

People will help you to understand
Many are in the same boat.
Travelling rough seas alone.
I boarded a ship with little expectation
Of any solution to my sad situation.
Meditating.

The voyage began over calm seas
With friendly faces and comfort.
Waves billowing a calm sea breeze,
A friendship forged at cards,
I began to feel at ease, 
Communicating.

At the voyage end 
I had made a very firm friend, 
Who is still by my side, comforting.
I have lost the fog, cleared the mist,
My life is now completely,
Exhilarating.
