One Man's Journey

These feet have traveled; many a mile,

Leaving a path; of broken tile.

The ground I tread; has turned to dust,

For adventure; I truly lust.

Always walking; moving forward,

First this direction; then to that.

Packing gear; loosing thought,

Through this land; I do trot.

Careful to leave; no selfish marks,

On the field’s edge, singing larks.

Up the hill; I do trudge,

For this mountain; shall not budge.

Through the desert; barren land,

Painful cacti; thorn in hand.

Under the stars; I do sleep,

Rekindling the past; I do weep.

These eyes have seen; much despair,

What is this fragrance; in the air.

Could it be; a vision within,

As I struggle to begin.

A new day dawns; the sun rises,

Looking forward; to new surprises.

So these feet; continue to wonder,

Through valley and hill; to where I ponder.

There is no destination; I have in mind,

Only to travel; to wonder alone.

To see all there is; in this land,

Before I am forced; to play my hand.

My life here; is a stitch in time,

I do so wish; to see it all.

Remembering every mile...

As I continue; this journey of mine,

Taking a moment; stealing time,

Enjoying this bounty; it brings a smile,

As I trudge, my final mile.

Its time to sleep; my final slumber,

Having walked throughout these lands,

My journey complete; its time to rest,

For in God's hands; I feel best.
