I have recently had my poetry book published entitled "The Journey Home" by Ladee Basset. This is a collection of 100 poems written in the traditional poetic format, that of rhyme and time. This book is available to buy at various retailers ie to include Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Target, Waterstones, Booksonboard,etc. It is with great pleasure and pride I have been able to compile this collection of my own.<br /><br />This book features the poem entitled "Time Is Not A Barrier" which was read on several different radio stations the week of Princess Diana's mourning to include BBC radio 2. It also features the poem entitled "Mister Blair" which has been acknowledged by 10 Downing Street.<br /><br />The poem entitled "The Journey Home" contained with this book, the same title as the book, I now wish to let serve as my poetic tribute to Michael Jackson. It has been extremely shocking news to learn of his tragic sudden passing. At this time, it is very timely that the poem called "The Journey Home" is befitting for him. I would like to share this poem with you now as it suits the moment and how my heart bleeds for the worlds loss of Michael. My deepest sympathies are herewith extended to the family of Michael Jackson. An autographed copy of this book is on its way to the family of Michael Jackson!<br /><br /><strong>"The Journey Home"</strong><br /><br />The journey home is long<br />This place where I belong<br />Visions appear so strong<br />Selecting routes of song<br /><br />Sorrow reveals the way<br />Love signals to obey<br />Forward without delay<br />Miles closer ev'ry day<br /><br />Trekking to love behind<br />Before me trails unwind<br />Paths so clearly defined<br />Sounds echo in my mind<br /><br />A strict lovers crusade<br />Bounding just unafraid<br />Advancing shadows fade<br />Nearer to wonders made<br /><br />Beyond the narrow bend<br />Loves' honour to defend<br />Transfixed until the end<br />Aching hearts will amend<br /><br />Towards the cloudy sea<br />Heaven's waiting for me<br />My heart will be set free<br />The journey home must be<br /><br />Copyright @ Ladee Basset<br /><br />This is book is available to download, in soft cover and in hard cover.
