Some magical thoughts on the nature of our world and the human experience and oh to heck with it, just whatever I feel like writing about :)

The Journey

The theme of American Idol this week was...INSPIRATIONAL SONGS! So, I suddenly felt inspired to write an inspirational poem. What a show, such a great influence, as are those brave musicians on it ;)

"The Journey"

If life was just one long smooth road
The journey would be easy.
We'd never have to shed a tear
Nor stumble over broken glass.
The night itself would never come,
Our life played out in one long day.
No sudden turns along the way,
No falls in holes,
No walls to climb.

A life like this might seem ideal
But like a book, each page the same.
And challenges, though not always fair,
Are driven by the winds of change.
Each turn and twist along the way
Gives life its sense of meaning.
And the obstacles we all must face
Unite us, and
Define our being.
