Journey – A Poem by James LaMear

Journey is a poem that I wrote while thinking about the impending unknown.  For me, this poem is about facing the unknown, embracing a wandering path, and enjoying the process of self-discovery.

Journey 

Hand in hand I’ll walk with you

 

Hand in hand I’ll walk with you

And we’ll take trails that we’ve known not.

Step for step I’ll match your stride,

Never straying from your side,

And we’ll both be travelers true.

 

We’ll sleep as we must, day to day,

Seeing sights great and strange to us.

We will travel the world around,

Seek out those wonders that must be found,

And find ourselves along the way.

 

As time passes, by and by,

Our wayward path will lead us home.

And resting creaky bones one day,

When time has made us old and gray,

We’ll know we let our spirits fly.

 

And young travelers, full of zest,

Perhaps our journey will yet inspire.

With wills unbroken they’ll face the road,

And embrace the unknown, with spirits bold,

As we find our final rest.
