JOURNEY NOT DESTINATION
I
In days of emptiness, unknowingly
blinded and far astray,
the obstacle became the way.
started to look at things stoically,
the prying open of closed eyes,
the dawning of a new day.
my mind colored in the baby blue skies,
of a future not so far away,
a promise of a hidden treasure,
the map from society pointed to a far place.
I followed and found, to my initial displeasure,
the gold was right in front of my face;
though gold is abundant, and after I still felt the same.
So, I hopped in my heart’s aircraft for the first time,
I saw a rainbow out the window of the plane;
a promise of new internal heights I was to climb,
a reminder of my past demons I had slain.
all the new experiences I was to gain,
for just once – if I could face my fears ingrained,
in the logical part of my brain!
