Journey

A calming breath,

A tear well-shed,

A gentle touch

As relief is spread.

A peaceful moment,

A liberating sigh,

A warm embrace

As emotions fly.

A thought released,

A smell remembered,

A shift to neutral

As beliefs are surrendered.

A deep affinity,

A transient desire,

A lasting impression

As connection moves higher.

A powerful sentiment,

A sweeping inclination,

A turn towards within

As purpose reclaims dedication.

A centered approach,

A focused vision,

A thirst-quenching knowing

As life grounds intuition.

A whisper sensed,

A feeling translated,

A tune that speaks

As understanding is created.

A well-worn plot,

A comfortable soul,

A memory once forgotten

As journey equates goal.
