As It Was

We are all here today as we and why were meant to be Because we all follow our intended path Otherwise left alone unto our own devices to forge our own We would never end up getting anywhere at all Lost and all at sea searching for dry land and the hope of a familiar landmark To use as a point of reference in order to retrace my way back home Whilst all along thinking and pondering the reason why i even contemplated leaving in the 1st place And will it still be and bring back those same feelings i so grew to long and miss the longer i was away Why did i choose to leave What made me want back Why all and the what Happened in - between So many unanswered questions So many shades of grey blurred on either side of the black and white divide Only after endless contemplating soul searching and internal deep reflection All we are left with to hold onto in the end and we find is we are left with nothing but All exactly is as it was quite obviously meant to be I am still me as is the road from here to there and back As is all that is now in the past and in - between set in stone like Excalibur Destiny is merely an X placed and marked out on a treaure map per say Who amongst hasn't spent a large majority wasted our lifetime chasing like the rainbows end Only 1 day to late to admit and find to our own detrement and regret We always new may probably never have actually existed anywhere but in our own mind And if it did or does rather than have to chase it or go in search of it If it was somehow meant to be or is to be It will find and come to us with or without our help

You wield a pen like Excalibur, Christopher! We're all left with something after each journey we take, even if it's just memories. We have to hold on to them because they let us know that we're alive and that life is worth living, no matter how hard it is sometimes.

An old saying Christopher, (if it’s for you it won’t pass you) small comfort for someone that spends their life chasing the rainbow’s end, the one who thinks they can predict with any certainty what their future holds, is totally deluded, cheers David
