Waves roll gently upon the white sand,
soothing my weary, questing soul;
heat and light from the morning sun
inexorably disperses the mists
and a new path unfolds before my eyes
leading away from this roundabout shore:
yes, the time has come to leave
the tattered shelter of old memories
and to resume my life's journey
following it's unchartered path.

Why did I not see this before?
It is impossible to enter the wrong path
in life's travels, for wherever I turn,
whatever highway or wild trail I follow,
that is exactly what I had determined
I should do, before I ventured forth,
and the mystics are proved right once more.

It is foolish and utterly futile
to worry about, or try to predict,
the outcome of this particular journey.
Step forth bravely; step forth freely
and enjoy the whole of life!

'unchartered' or 'uncharted'?!:

"the time has come to leave
the tattered shelter of old memories
and to resume my life's journey
following it's unchartered path."

I am especially fond of the above though!

what was that song lyric? ...

"...and all roads lead to where we stand
no matter what we may have planned..."

a most fine 'penning'!!

Each moment you walk an unchartered path, you walk the life-path as a free (hu)man.

I'll be placing this in my library,
dear poet/philosopher/friend.

Determined, yet simultaneously free---that is mysticism, indeed!

Splendid write.

"Yes, the time has come to leave the tattered shelter of old memories." I'm keeping this one WW, There is so much wisdom here.
