Many times she appeared,over the years, like the scent of a unknown bloom.
A ghost thought seen in the eyes corner, when light flashes a darkened room.
An image of smoke that never forms, dances away on a gentle breeze.
Now all alone he smiles once more enjoying the beautiful tease.

As he walks this life, his steps strong and bold, in search of of the elusive knowing.
No map to follow, no signs to read, led by the seeds she's sowing.
A hidden trail n'er trod before,no path for him to follow.
The prize he seeks, the heart's real yearning is just beyond tomorrow.

Caution traveller….. a warning to give, no guarantees are given.
A toll you'll pay, for all you've done ,you're in debt for the life you've liven.
Actions and deeds are the currency in which your slate is scribed.
Everything good, everything bad, all the truth and all the lies.

Now as she appears, so bright and clear to greet him with a smile.
He finally knows the reason, for all those weary miles.
What drove him on, when all was lost and the future looking bleak.
To live and learn is gift for all ,and wisdom the prize we seek.
