Wisdom For the Journey

The journey,
A solitary path,
Narrow 
	and unsteady.
No compass to guide;
Only wisdom inside;
Soft voice to be heard;
	In stillness it resides.

In quietness;
Listen;
This wise guide speaks 
To those inclined to hear.

Wisdom beckons courage;
Lessons to be learned
      in the journey,
A daily step.
Regret,
     my teacher.
Forgiveness
     my healer.

Wisdom leads me deeper
     in the journey
And whispers hope
To stay the course.
