A Journey Alone

When I leave footprints in the sand In my life I’m leaving my mark and taking a stand I need to be by myself to take this spiritual journey Without any interruptions I develop more diligently It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity Without this journey, there is no point to the destination To move ahead I must have no hesitation Your experiences are not who you are I definitely aim high for the stars This journey that I'm on I don’t attend to go far But I do plan to get there having no fear It is a faith driven and a much needed trip This alone time will help me in life to get that grip Cradle to the grave is the purpose of our creation Everyone passes through the final stage to their final destination It is not a dream but this journey is so real A lot of things in my life I need to heal This journey has taught me to love not to hate It is the key to my future and my fate As my destiny and my story is told I am still alone and wondering along the road Journeys, like artists, are born and not made. A thousand differing circumstances contribute to them, few of them willed or determined by the will—whatever we may think. Lawrence Durrell
