My journey to the stars.......

My journey to the stars.........

I wander alone on a path,

trudged by countless before.

listening to the crunch of pebbles,

lyin on unknown shores.

There's a path out there,

but it appears to wander.

vagaries of road may have a meaning,

no time to stop and ponder.

i have ventured on a perilous journey

i already behold the foothills of new lands.

Seeking light by my flickering will

treading through fickle shifting sands.

My journey to the stars.........

i listen to sounds of despair

lost souls, still searching

the elusive flame of sweet success

wills broken, hearts aching

i hear cries of triumph

sweat glistening on brows, wins in their stride

folks who conquered the summits

fire in eyes, chins tossed up in pride

i hope against hope

ignoring the pounding in chest

born into sea of ignorance

tryin to rise above the crest

My journey to the stars.........

i brave my soul and follow

those who blazed the trails

riding the rough tides of misfortune

seekin winds of change for my sails

i bear the thorns in my path

braving burning summers and winters that freeze

scaling brazen hillocks & mountains

no lush pastures, no trees, no, none of these

i dont know what the day will bring

& at dusk, i would make it or not

he who surveys from lofty skies

he knows, maybe he does not

My journey to the stars.......
