Our Journey...

 

Through the twisted paths I traverse

Assuming that I have none other than He

That only the light of my guide was there

Allowing my eyes to understand what I see

Surprised I am when between the shadows

A forlorn traveller is what my eyes see

 And suddenly a warmth fills my heart

As gentle as the light now guiding me

Pushing passed the obstacles I go forth

Eagerly I offer him my cold hand

“I know who you are,” is what I say

“You are the one who will understand”

“Oh traveller, our journey is the same

And I know of this fact full well

For if it was not then why are you

Alone in this place, do tell?"

My hand is grasped along with a smile

And once he stands I realize

Though he may need my support

I am in need of his wise eyes

For were we both not shown the light

That we had for a long time sought?

And have we both not traversed and seen

Hardships that the other may have not?

The traveler smiles and nods his head

“Let us continue our journey together, my friend

Our guide will surely show us the path

And together we shall reach our desired end.”
