Tomorrow is a steady beacon,
guiding us with promise and hope.
With every dawn, we begin a journey
whether we walk, gallop, or lope.
The shadow of doubt seldom lingers
in a heart teeming with dreams.
Each step taken is a victory,
no matter how difficult or pointless it seems.
Fear is an unwelcome companion
on the road traveled by the brave and the true.
The light always outshines the darkness
revealing each day a new world bright and new.

Revealing each day a new world bright and new,

No matter how difficult or pointless it seems,

In a heart teeming with dreams,
the shadow of doubt seldom lingers.
Whether we walk, gallop, or lope,
with every dawn, we begin a journey.
Guiding us with promise and hope,
tomorrow is a steady beacon.

Fish Face
Is it safe? Is it safe? It must be safe. I don’t hear any fishing lures plunking into the water or boats with trolling motors plying the surface of my lake. Yes, I said my lake, even though these air-breathing humans treat it and those of us living in its water as theirs. I have been battling with one of them for almost ten years. He started this war, but he’ll never win.

I like how the poem reflects the long journey we see ahead of us in the picture, but also shows the positive mindset we need to keep going no matter what. “In a heart teeming with dreams, the shadow of doubt seldom lingers.” is a wonderful piece of imagery. Nicely done😊
Nice! You did it and I loved that you included the reverse version. Much easier to read and experience! Well done!
