The Journey Backward
He steps out
Proud and stout
With a defiant smirk
he surveys his scene
Savouring the moment
He had skimmed through the pain
excitingly moving through the motions
surpassing all hate
he struts forward
riding on air
as he made a prime decision
To confront all life’s changing choices
His grin widens
slyly becoming a booming laugh
as he selects only the needed recipes
to spice up his life
solely with the good times
Relishing the dripping flavours
of goals and victories
Reliving the chosen moments
redefining his life
as he takes the journey backward
