. "Journey rages within me, day and night.
Vibrant sail modifies my course.
Along the way there is great delight
Together with jealously, sadness and remorse." The Poet

Navigating through life's highway comes from within
Meandering through the road signs of my life
I swerve to miss potholes all with trepidation
Always leaving room if I need to change lanes
Can't predict circumstances that may cause detours
STOP GIVE WAY SLIPPERY WHEN WET signs I must heed
My travels this far without crashes
I engaged cruise control this part of the trip
With no map this journey was hard for a while
Lost concentration hit a gravel patch
Chugged to have my broken parts repaired
Follow directions on which my future depends
Now taking bypasses to sight the scenic view
Need more pit stops now the long journey has tired me
Mindful of the rewards it's time to park my load
All the people I have met some have come and gone
Was happy not to settle my spirit was free
Memories in mind and heart always in top gear
Journey end my destination is just ahead
It’s time for someone else to take the wheel
