A Journey

A Journey

As we face inward
we seem to leave behind
the tangles and misfortunes
of what was outward..
A real identity shines
bringing unexplained
fear to some and
happiness and peace
to others..
Those in fear 
may retreat so to
perceive once more
the expected.. their
outward faith in
rocky stability..
For the others
blissful remaining
is immediate wish
but eventual turning
reveals a merging
 inward and outward..
Yet the appearances
are as remembered..
As this journey
is enjoined by
each of us...
