At the path I’ve travelled
To learn from trials and failures
From adventures and successes
And celebrate them all
Then I turn forward
Take the next step
With a clearer vision
Of the trials and adventures
The path ahead promises
Then I turn forward
Take the next step
With a clearer vision
Of the trials and adventures
The path ahead promises
Sometimes
I think
The road unknown
Explores as much
The me I do not know
Which is all the more enticing
Than the me I believe is me
But the comfortable path
Is not always the best path
Or the true path
So I try to remember
Keep exploring
In silence
I listen
In darkness
I find light
In mystery
I find insight
In questions
I find…
Until
I discovered non-being
And realized
Being
Was not
All it was cracked up
To be
I only have a glimpse
Of the way ahead
Through difficult terrain
Many sections of the path
Remain obscured
And the final destination
Still lies beyond
The visible horizon
I stop and look back
Along the path I’ve travelled
Not to see where I’ve been
Not to linger on what I’ve done
Not to consider the path I’ve followed
I want to see
What fell out of my peripheral vision
What cannot be seen moving forward
Though I may have to fly
Rather than drive
I may have to walk
Rather than bicycle
I remind myself
Look forward
Or risk running aground
But I stand here, now
Beyond so many
Impassable barriers
All along the way
