A simple title for our Weekly Theme, but it also works as metaphor.
One Way Ticket

One Way Ticket
In my age thru grace
I find myself aboard a train
which hums a cadence like the rain
which hides within the chase
Towards this point of no return
I ride the winds named destiny
forwards I go I will not turn
my one way ticket becomes my fantasy

I can talk to anyone
As I board the train
with my one way ticket
I.m starting over again
I will do some things
i have never done before
For I have a one way ticket
Because I.m alone once more
I'll climb a moutain
Look at the stars
Sail alone on an ocean
Might travel to Mars
There is now no us
It's just me alone
NO us, or them
ME, just the one

One Way Ticket
I like the thought of those that may
a one way ticket for a lazy day
you could go by bus or car or train
but have you condsided an aeroplane?
If you go by plane and can't decide
Austrailia, too hot outside
Iceland is cold and the mountains may rumble
and Russia is there but people may grumble
a one way ticket to a polynesian isle
that is a dream and worth my while. |

Alan, what thoughts you share our way, one question, do you have enough room in your dream for this Texan to walk the sands of this Polynesian island, the fish we could catch, ha, ha.

One way ticket
To where the sun sets in the ocean
The sea and wind stir deep emotion,
Where love makes the daily living
And all cares aim just for giving,
There I wished my train to lead me
My dreams already I can see.
This ticket brings me out of rush
Shielded from noise, I hear the thrush.
Every place is immersed in bliss,
Enchanting is the nature’s kiss.
Pleasure even in rain and thunder
That leads to refreshing slumber.
Only friends and peace in a place
I hope to find in reachable space.
Sea and sky join by golden strand,
Shooting stars like a fiery band,
From such place, who wants to return?
A one way ticket is my concern.

One way ticket (spiritual)
We all will be called for the last journey
When our soul to another world must go,
The ticket’s priceless for that unknown day,
No choice of class, same goal on us bestow.
All lifetime we were told of pictures
More beautiful than any place on earth.
That there to Heaven’s gate we will be lead,
Was known inside, since the day of our birth.
This one way ticket then we can’t refuse,
If we have faith we should not be afraid,
The Paradise we often tried to see,
Will become radiant clear, instead of fade.
The last trip though – may there still be some time –
With inward views, through windows of our heart,
Our airstream being gratitude and peace,
Behind the last doorstep, there’s a new start.

A challenge to Alan, Mystic and Dee. I have written the first stanza, now if each of you will write a four line stanza along the lines I've written, then we will have poem that I can record with a musical background, to post on the main page of P2S. What do you think Alan, would you post this poem by the four of us, being we are the only ones who have played this game, just a thought. Mystic when I read your two poems, it gave me this idea, thanks my friend, hope it bears fruit.............Roland........
A one way ticket to one's heart
exists between two souls
marriage creates the spark
merging together warms the cold

Great idea Roland, I gladly follow your poetic start:
A one way ticket to wise age
is more or less guaranteed
with poems we like to fill the page
and hope, they may spread some seed...

A one way ticket to a long life
May it be happy, not sad
so we can look back and see
The good life we did had

Wow Mystic, and Dee, what lines you both have written, like what I've read so far. OK, Alan, just need four lines from you to close this poem, and I will do the rest if you will agree.

Hand in hand we walk towards forever
our one way ticket leads to grace
satisfying sweet love we've endeavor
meeting eternity we touch God's face
Sorry Alan was unable to participate but thanks to Mystic, Doreen, and yours truly, a poem has been written.................
