Poems from Another Lifetime Part 5
by Marijo Phelps This is part of a series of poems which were written years ago before I came to know Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Some were written when I was a professing atheist and an alcoholic.

Poems from Another Lifetime Part 5 ALMOST THERE It flows Swirling around us So fast that We have time Only to reach out Or. It flows Lazily pulling us But with strength So that Try as we will We are unable To grasp Anyone In the swimming sea Of desperately lost people. WINNERS LOST We played canasta The game was not finished- Score: Me 1928, Him 3765 But then, what really matters? HIGHWAY TRAVELLED TOGETHER Where have we gone together? Over the hills of fear and pain Through the meadows of joy and discovery Across the swamps of hatred and anger Over the bridges of sharing and laughter Running in the valley of the timeless child, We have been there too. And where have we gone together? Through the darkness of disillusionment and disappointment Into the light of hope and caring To the heaven of sleep and dreams Over the paths of concern and friendship Under the ocean of hopelessness and despair Onto the playground of giggles and tickles Over the highways of star-shine and light All of those places, We've been there before And where is there left for us to go? To the world of time In which we will travel each road Pathway, bridge and highway again and again As we draw the map of our lives Together.
