the journey in
a poem I wrote 6 years ago I’ve clambered up mountains and waded through streams. I’ve marveled at forests and sailed frightening seas. I’ve camped in the deserts and gazed at the stars. I’ve lived through adventure and I have come far. The mountains are lies I have long told myself. The streams are discomforts that lead me to health. The forests are moments of deep inner peace. The frightening seas are my fear of release. The deserts are hours alone in my mind. The stars are the hope only darkness can find. The places I’ve sojourned no map could have told - this distance I’ve traveled inside of my soul.
