The Way

I embarked upon a mission to fulfil my ambitions,

but got lost along the way meeting strangers with

experiences of awe. I got swayed back and throw,

meeting a man who had loved and lost. His wife is

now a ghost. Twenty years have passed and he just

knows he will be reunited with his true love. Then the

boy who tried to fly in a last effort just to feel, now

realizing he's not made of steel thank God that he

survived. There was the lady with fourteen grand

children with her love spread yet always equal.

Every date stored in her heart, a diary there was no

need for. So my ambitions and goals have holes, some

like the stars are out of reach. Yet I realize now what's

beneath the stars underneath the sky. Our experiences

shine on and that's where our futures lie.
