The Journey's Worth

 

The open road lies ahead,

No destination set,

Only a path,

I walk unblocked,

Relishing in the world,

The ever changing sky,

The constant changing lands,

Of earth, sky, water and trees,

A wanderer who treasures these,

Is the most free of all,

Because after all what good is place,

Without a journey,

A journey without peril,

Without toil and effort,

And without issue,

That is not a journey,

A true traveller lives through it all,

And takes the wins and defeats,

And will continue on,

And prove the journeys' worth.
