THE CARAVAN <br /> <br />The caravan of life <br />moves slowly, silently <br />toward its destination <br /> <br />the journey appears <br />smooth <br />suddenly it encounters <br />a snag <br /> <br />throws a clog in the <br />wheels <br />making travel weary <br /> <br />winds whip up a storm <br />tearing at sand castles <br />built long ago <br />eyes become blurred <br /> <br />the gypsy gazes into <br />her crystal ball <br />foresee the future <br />the caravan moves on.<br /><br />Heather Burns<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-caravan-4/
