The Journey

 

The Journey 

by Robert Neest 


The plain and simple things are those we feel 

In our lives on any common day 

And keep us all together on the ground 

Like sturdy stones resisting over time. 


They are the same for poor and rich alike, 

A hug, a smile, a warm and sunny day, 

Reminding us that we are here and live, 

As different as we are, in the same world. 


Apart, there are some goals and wishes, too, 

That make us grow and we are seeking them 

With hopes to find a better, finer life 

Fulfilling our journey on the earth. 


But they are distant and the shapes are blurred, 

Each person sees them in a different way 

And trying to get closer and find out 

What do we want, it takes us the whole life.

Waiting

Waiting  by Robert Neest A tall and wooden window’s open wide  And lets the early summer sunshine slip  Inside the dimly lit and narrow room  And draw few feeble shadows on the walls.  Beside the window stands a girl and looks  Towards a very distant place, away  From where she stays with shoulders brought in front  While arms are tightly held around her waist.  She wears a lively coloured graceful dress  With stylish shoes that are her favourite pair  And light shines on her nicely done hair  To make her look so beautiful and young.  With trembling hands she reads again the message,  As she has done since she received the news,  When several tears are falling from her eyes  And then are slowly rolling down her face.

Seaside

Seaside  by R. Neest The two old friends met early, before noon,  They had a lot to talk about all things  That happened since they saw each other here,  Where always was like their cosy home.  On long and brownish wooden chairs they sit  Immersed in deep and tender mat of grass.  Few red and yellow flowers grew apart  Below an old and leafy branch of tree.  In front they have the blue and noisy sea  With waves that crush on heavy row of stones  And fishing boats that move away from shore  While several hungry seagulls fly around.  They watch the rising sun above the sea  As slips through white and various shapes of clouds  And gently warms the air and things around  Preparing for a new and busy day.

Isolation

Isolation  by Robert Neest Few heavy clouds are covering the sky  Above the lonely white house with brown door  Where at the window an old lady sits  And stares outside with gloomy sorry eyes.  Next to the house a couple stands and looks  Towards the door with their little child.  It is the lady’s son, his wife along  With their daughter that are visiting.  The family is staying in the street,  They cannot go inside the woman’s house  And she cannot go out to meet her son.  Pandemic rules are strict and they are harsh.  The little girl is waving towards her,  She’s happy when she sees her granny, that  Is hiding several tears with a big smile  And yearns to hold her in her arms once more.
