With your grandeur, you see me
Flaxen hair flowing in the wind
Glaring eyes fixated on the world
Once nimble body riddled with the weight of the world
With your tenacity, you challenge me
Biting daggers that sink into supple skin
Flailing thoughts that overshadow reason
Once brilliant mind erroneously rotted
With your boisterous voice, you call me
Shrill notes that burn off the tongue
Gauging words that pierce the unconscious
Once copious soliloquies lay unspoken
With your unyielding stride, you chase me
Oppressive feet that command attention
Twisting steps that wring my very core
Once light as a breeze now still
With your impetuous soul, you leave me
Billowed body sailing through the trees
Floating, floating, floating
Omnipotence traversing above me
With my renewed strength, you left me
Journeying into the unknown
Leaving the shell behind
To repose my own natural instincts
Watching you become smaller
Watching you become less present
I wave goodbye, my friend
I wave goodbye, myself
One of the biggest fears of beginning any journey is the unknown. We do not know where the journey will take us and that can be quite scary. What will we uncover? What will we find along the way? The journey is as amazing as the final destination. We learn with each step. We learn we have the ability to go in any direction we choose. That direction is very much of our own accord.
