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.
