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
