Downwards we travel on a path filled with sharp edges They cut, they bleed, they cry, they feed Onwards we travel regardless of it all As the need to reach the goal, the end, becomes an obsession On a road that leads nowhere Except through lessons to be learnt and remembered It takes us all to a place where a blue sky is inevitable Flowers will bloom in a field of flames Rain will pour on desert soil And a rose will stand alone in a gust of wind All of these images to be treasured To be remembered as part of the journey Not to the end of it all But to the beginning of the rest of our lives Where it will all be revealed The answers to the questions, dilemmas and ponderings Will be shown on a velvet carpet Wrapped in silver foil Shining in the sun that warms our skin The tears will roll down our cheeks But only so that they could be wiped away by a tender touch The pain will fill our very being But only to be eaten away by a never-ending happiness We will be understood And therefore we will smile This road will take us where we want to really be At the end of a life That will continue long after we have gone In memories In tears In laughter In wisdom In love In all that makes us human This is the road we have started on This is the road we will always be on Thank God for this blessing To understand that which I have questioned for so longBirth sign: Scorpio
