Journey

Who are you

Are you lost

Were you left up there in the mountains somewhere 

Or did you fade away in a river drowning with the current

Did the forest close in on you, giants surrounding you until you were hidden

A leaf amongst a sea of green. A blanket

Is it keeping you warm

 

The earth, is it protecting you

Is it showing you things, things that you have been looking for

Or do you find yourself searching in a moonless night

 

Are you turning soft like moss

Or hard like stone

And is it cold up there balancing on those peaks

 

Have you made peace with what you could no longer withstand

Does the battle fade with the distance

 

The longer you are away, the further you get

The steeper the grade, the slower the gain

 

And every time you ask yourself, am I there yet

You will know less and less about where you are headed
