Journey Sans Destination

by Odin odin@aflx.com — Read all 3,869 poems by Odin odin@aflx.com

It is arguable that the fast lane of life, that travel map to security and success,
Often wears itself out in destinations of disappointment. (Image by Oden AI)

 Journey Sans Destination

 

 

 

 

 

Finally…

 

 

 

 

Uncovering the essence of being

Cradled in revealed silence

A voice quiet,

But with power’s kindness to guide the way.

 

 

 

 

Such a labyrinth of reflections

Where wandering paths of yesterday and today

Gives passage to new understandings

Unexpected revelations.

 

 

 

 

Shadow and light embrace

Revealing strength enveloping vulnerability

Becoming a revived inner being

True and whole.

 

 

 

 

The journey needing not a destination

Unveils a self of discovery

Where road signs point the distance.

 

 

 

 

Often unaware

Life’s yin and yang

Provides the rest stop

For the moment.

“destinations of disappointment” = massive three words. Your created visual image encompasses and is the compass for your ‘Journey’ here. I like how your introduction of the fast lane concludes with the rest stop, and then, this caveat “For the moment.” Also enjoyable is the amount of space between stanzas….that carries its own special effect.

I read wisdom percolating during the quiet realm of older life after the tumultous earlier years are long gone.

Trips that come and go are gone
But a journey has but one destination...
Home.
