'the Journey'

each day is a journey uphill new mountains to climb but I tend to l i n g e r on the way to touch a fragrant wildflower- and listen to the birds sing a melody oh- I lay in meadows dreaming and watch the clouds in the azure d r i f t i n g I wiggle my toes in mountain streams at the end of the day no wonder, I NEVER climbed any mountains I was just too slow, so I just F A L L back down to earth you see- it is all about the journey you never actually have to reach the mountain top _______________________________ July 7, 2016 Poetry/Free Verse/'the journey' Copyright Protected, ID 16-1210-105-02 All Rights Reserved.

Hi BW, I agree, it's all about the journey. What did one learn along the way .Did one stop and smell the roses. Furthermore, if one does reach the "top" that was part of "their" journey. I wish you the best of luck in contest. Have a great weekend my friend :-) Alexis
