The journey

On the day my journey begun
I was sheltered, protected and warm
Now as I wander aimless through
Uncharted nameless paths
Unexplored endless places
I realise that who I am now
Is who I was then
And that my journey is nearly complete
I realise that where I have been
Is where I have come from
And that on my journey I have missed much
All the wondrous sights I’ve blindly passed
All the people ignored and put to one side
I realise I have wasted much of my time
And now my journey is ending
While mind is just waking up
I started off walking taking everything in
But soon my stride grew wide
And the world started to flash on by
My mind went to sleep
To help past the time
Now I lay down to rest
Too soon, Too soon
The journey seems short but the path was long
Though as one journey ends
Another begins
