Without the Journey, One Can’t Judge


Submitted to dVerse

Amidst the shadows of hovering trees,

Where’s the light to help see?

An array of paths that aren’t concrete

Which direction should one beseech?

 

Atop routes of dirt and rocks one must trudge

To get darkness to budge.

What will one realize at the end?

Without the journey, one can’t judge.

    Nice work. Reminds me of the old spiritual…Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen!

    And with no purpose for the journey, one will not complete it too ~

    It’s always the journey that teaches us most.
