My poem for the challenge N1; to write a poem inspired by the picture below.
Shades of blue the way I like move away to give glory to meI see a bright light gentle to the eyes as I walk slowly aheadIn dapper clothes with walking stick I wonder where I’m heading toClimbing the long stairway where will this journey endMy heart has settled down I feel no more painIs this a dream a pleasant dream walking in the cloudsI count the steps as I walk up tiredness I don’t feelReminds me of the ninety nine steps at the seaside town of WhitbyI remembered my son and daughter tears in their eyesGrand children bewildered didn’t know what to thinkThe church was so sombre not like a Sunday I have beenAlthough bunches of flowers were lying everywhereIt all makes sense now I’m going to see my creatorI hope He thinks my soul is worthy to attend his banquetI miss my kids and hope they would always remember meBut I’m happy to see my Ma and Pa after decades of solitary years
