Joy’s

Journey

Begins with

Not knowing or

Musing, just living;

Seeing, hearing, tasting

Sunbeams, music, sweet fragrance,

Delight in sound flying from soul

Suspended from heaven, not grounded,

Unbound by thought or deliberation.

 

One grows and learns of worlds beyond one’s own,

Galaxies, planets, suns and deep seas,

Metropolis, mountain, and plain,

Forest and desert and moor,

Of cavern and seashore,

Flowers and gemstones.

The eager one

Thinks plans to

Touch them

All.

 

Deep

Striving

And struggling

Without watching

The moon safeguarding,

The sun lighting the path

That supports determined feet

Running to edges of oceans

Bringing dreamer, seeker, achiever

To wave’s crest, until glancing back at shore,

 

Wonders if something was left there in haste

And eagerness to venture far from

Shores whose music is forgotten.

Then journey starts with return

Home, cherished memory,

Future’s mystery

Ethereal,

Evergreen

Journey,

Joy.
