You believe that you
Are supposed to travel alone,
For only you know the way,
And a journey makes more sense
If embarked on one’s own,
But what if after all the trouble
You found your fate scribbled
On a moth-eaten parchment,
And your destiny engraved
On a moss-covered stone,
Would you burst out laughing
And come back home?

Oh, lovely words for sure in this poem.
I never want to imagine that I might be alone here.
I need someone to laugh with and to celebrate the ups and downs.
This poem set me introspect-ing.
Thanks for sharing it. Blessings

Aliens are among us. They are helping to show us the βuglyβ we cannot see on our own. The mirror is NOT a good representation of WHO/WHAT we are. We need the lessons. God help us.
