Against the Stream
by Moses Hochstetler (Age: 60)
copyright 06-19-2003


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
I follow not the well-worn trail,
The easy road, the watered vale
Through verdent trellised garden grass;
The path that others walk en masse.

I flow with neither tide nor stream
Of whimsical and passing dream,
Of generally accepted trend,
Where shallow reasonings descend.

The trail I choose, the skiff I ride
Against the stream and swelling tide;
Against all popular demand -
Is where I make my moral stand.

Another masterful piece of poetry. There is a inner flow which drew me right into the poem. It was soothing and serene.

Truly a great read. It was short, sweet, to the point, yet full of deep meaning. If only I possessed such mastery of words so that I could express myself as eloquently. Another great poem by an amazing poet. ^_^

...the less traveled roads are those that challenge us and show us and the world what we are made of...an excellent poem with well-tuned couplets and a fine message.

Warm regards,
Lyle
