I trudged along countless pathways
Traveled the continents far and wide
Climbed mountains where none had gone before
Crossed rivers seemingly wide as a sea
Walked through the woods and did not see the majesty
Attended festivals in far off places hearing not a sound
Dined on the finest cuisine with an asleep palate
Looked at mirrored walls and saw no reflection
Carried a satchel of burdensome shattered dreams
Drank wine with strangers in far-away places
Awoke one morning in your arms
Realizing then why the arduous journey.

The road and trails and streams and seas were your blueprint to find what you found. Nice work.

A lot of philosophy in this one.

(1)We should never stop searching for what we want, regardless of the defeats along the way.

(2) We should never settle for less than what we want to find.

(3) If we are happy at the end, everything was worthwhile.

Not sure if you intended all that or not but, as always, your words send me along many paths. In other words, you stimulate my mind. That's a compliment.....

That was a most precious and life changing moment, no doubt.

Blessed awareness, you expressed it so well.

Love,
Margherita
