IT IS A LONG JOURNEY

It is a long journey
from the first breath drawn
to the final sigh
our lungs release.

The search is not for a name
but for its meaning
to ask what it is
to stand fully human.

It winds through valleys of doubt
through alleys guilt dare not enter
a path with no shortcuts
only steps into the unknown.

It is not a destination
but a vast, shifting sea
no shore in sight
only thoughts adrift, seeking home.
