Journey

[RevTom]

Awakened early one autumn morn and

suddenly confronted with my very soul,

It dawned that long ago I'd buried my dreams

as wind drifts built upon the snow

I walked for many miles that day

and hours passed when suddenly

I saw the twists and turns that stealthily

had steered me from my chosen way.

As I gazed upon forest's soft hued vale

and heard robins calling in the dale

I felt the meadow's uplifting wind

and felt the sun bring forth its warmth again:

So I sat and began to contemplate-

to consider the future; ponder my fate.

Is all to be what's been before

Is this my life, or is there more?

Hard though I tried the future to see

She carefully hid her secrets from me.

The reckoning shook my very soul

and stung like winters' harshest cold.

Though I may journey to seek my future

Feel not as though you've lost a friend

For in life's strange enchanting pathway,

God only knows when we shall meet again
